I go to Ecuador every summer to live and work in a barrio in Guayaquil. I've done a number of things, from hauling cement and building houses to pap smear clinics to family planning and IUD insertions to photo journalism. There's (at least) 2 types of Spanish in Ecuador....the people from the coast speak muy rapido, drop the ends of their words, and I have great difficulty following a conversation....particularly in groups. (This is the family I live with, lol) The Ecuadorians from the Andes speak slowly, enunciate well, and I can understand/converse with them very well. -- Betsy Hyde CNM Branford, CT Next message: GA12L@aol.com: "Re: FRI Computers in Spanish" Previous message: Dr Eberhard Lisse: "Firing a patient" In reply to: Anna Meenan, MD: "Re: FRI Computers in Spanish"

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.
