Georgia law requires written informed consent for lots of stuff,
basically anything called surgery or under any regional/general
anesthesia. Granted, a vag delivery without an epidural (they do
happen) may not qualify, but is the repair of a laceration (if present)
surgery? All in all, our state Ob/Gyn society recommends consents for
vag delivery, and they produced a version.

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.
