When all the HIPAA stuff came out, one of our office staff became concerned, so we made an inquiry. Of course, they could be wrong, since I doubt anyone has tested the legality of photos on doctor's walls. Most hospitals in our area will not send birth information to local newspapers, either, but many parents still do this.

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.
