Off the top of my head I don't think anyone else on the list is from anywhere near Chicago, but if anyone is, or if any of the lurkers are, there will be a demonstration at 11 AM May 13 (next Tuesday) in Daley Center Plaza, addressing malpractice reform in Illinois. Ask your medical staff office about arranging for a bus through the ISMS or just show up. Recommended attire: white coats (well, mine is blue) and scrubs.

Y'all come.

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.
