I asked several members of our Onc division about this. The consensus of opinion was: "Why are you doing the thin prep to begin with?". There is still no evidence that it decreases either the incidence of or the death rate from cervical cancer anymore than using the standard pap smear.

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.
