Malpractice rates vary depending on region and claim history. As an example: in 1983 I paid $225.00/yr. for a $1 million dollar policy with a 3 million umbrella. For the same policy today, in Phoenix, Arizona I would pay $40,000. I work for a hospital now though, and don't carry my own insurance. I have never had a claim, or even been named in a suit.

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.
