Consent is required for labor and delivery. Most of the private offices sign consent at the first prenatal visit, which is obviously more than 30 days in advance. In the clinic, they're doing it when the patient presents in labor. I contend that consent obtained in labor is probably not valid, since the patient can be considered under duress, and not able to give true informed consent. > > Larry Glazerman Next message: l.glazerman@rcn.com: "Re: Consent for delivery" Previous message: Joe Cutchin: "Re: endometriosis in C/S scar" Maybe in reply to: l.glazerman@rcn.com: "Consent for delivery" Next in thread: D.

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.
