Re: casual research questionFrom: AllanHo@aol.comSat Jun 30 15:48:25 2007
I think Ob Gyn is a unique specialty. Especially in these days that emphasize primary care in Ob Gyn, I feel we are expected to know everything. Ob gyn's have to deal with patient's of all ages, plus we are the only specialists who take care of fetuses while they are still in-utero. I enjoy being an Ob Gyn because I have the satisfaction of knowing that my scope of medical knowledge is wide. As a male physician, I feel I already know my own anatomy and physiology well. In comparison, the female anatomy and physiology is far more interesting than that of a man. Women go through more stages of life, eg, adolescence, reproductive, and menopausal, than men. I can truly say I have knowledge of men and women. Although I am not happy that sometimes I am passed over by some patients because I am a man, I feel I am practicing medicine without being encumbered by my own personal experience because I am not a woman. I feel I have an advantage of being neutral and unbiased when caring for patients. Every female patient is an individual nothing like myself.

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.
