Brick, naturally I remember the patient well and still think the husband should have been charged with involuntary manslaughter because he let his pregnant wife lie in pain, in the fetal position for 2 hours before bothering to call for help...but I digress...

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.
