Same problem in our area. Radiologists use "viable" to mean presence of a fetal heart rate, whereas MFM and neonatology and OB folks use "viable" to mean that baby has the chance to sustain itself outside the uterus with or without medical assistance. Also, many rads people use the term "neoplasm" to mean cancer, whereas gyn's use it to mean "abnormal growth."

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.
