regarding resident hours - in NY after the death of the daughter of a politically connected columnist - resident work hours were curtailed. there to date has NOT been any study evaluating the care delivered AFTER these regulations. it is high time this is done.

again - with respect to the escalating premiums - the time for bandaids has long passed - time for aggressive surgical therapy. we need solutions - not fault-finding.

just my opinion - i could be wrong.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
