perception is the elimination of the gross national product award - eg the recent 80 million dollar verdict in ny - would do wonders for the psyche of physicians already beleaguered by managed care, hipaa, medicare cuts, opmc, osha and other physician unfriendly red tape.

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.
