Well - I have to retract part of my comment - if I do the combined HRT - it would be because of preop discussion of the question of starting with some progestin to reduce chances of recurrence of endo - but I have to admit I am not truly convinced of that and most of the time it is ERT only...

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.
