M.D.C.M. F.R.S.C.: "Re: 1999 BMJ articel on cord prolapse" IMHO the incidence of cord prolapse has gone down (more C/S in twins and breeches, less grand multiparity, wider use of U/S in LDR...) but I don't think is that low - 1/6000 or that high - 1/250 ...I am done anyway :) Ef > At Mon, 22 May 2006, Betsy Hyde wrote: > >On May 22, 2006, at 4:54 PM, Dr. John Provatopoulos B.Sc.

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.
