Lack of immediate access to emergency drugs may be hazardous to women's health - perhaps JACHO will be named as a co-defendant by an enterprising plaintiff's attorney in a future negligence claim. micromanagement does not come without a price.

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.
