On the other hand... and I do mean on the other hand...

Any of the list out there have any experience with the values on cervical exam that WOMEN get compared to MEN? Obviously, I'm referring to small hands versus big hands and whether that influences the estimation of cervical dilation.

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.
