How can you require patients to sign a consent form for the default "procedure" which is a (presumed) uncomplicated vaginal delivery. The only other option is a cesarean, and if you don't offer that to patients without an indication there is no reason for a consent. It's different when there is an option, such as with a VBAC patient. Further, in the future we may offer vaginal or elective cesarean delivery depending on patient wishes. In that case a consent is indicated because you are comparing two options with unique risks, benefits and alternatives. Ashley

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.
