The architect >questioned whether legally or community standard required sinks.>> Richard- seems like your architect should know your local building codes. If you are interested, your Nevada Administrative Code is at: http://www.leg.state.nv.us/NAC/CHAPTERS.HTML, but careful with reading that, sometimes regulations can be buried under obscure headings, like the requirement for a sink may be under treating Hep B patients, or administering medications, etc. If you decide to go without, you might want to ask your DHR for a written opinion that it is OK [And NO, this isn’t legal advice!] Our INCCCA group did 1532 colpos & VIAs in six days in Peru last month, mostly in rooms without sinks, sometimes you just have no choice. . . Btw, it was good to meet you at ACOG! Marilyn

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.
