CredentialingFrom: Dr. Ainsworth (ainsron@sbcglobal.net)Tue Feb 1 19:05:00 2005
I'm Surgery Chairman at my hospital for the next two years. One issue that is coming up is how do you safely credential individuals for new procedures, or procedures that are new approaches to surgeries they have been performing. For example, one experienced, board certified orthopod has learned a minimally invasive hip replacement technique which should allow patients to be discharged early from the hospital and provided evidence of attendance at several meetings, didactic training, cadaver training and has an experienced proctor paid for by the manufacturer of the new-fangled hip coming to observe his first case. How do you evaluate when enough is enough?

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.
