No, it would be more like, if the courts wouldn't allow law suits or rebuttals presented without malpractice insurance; then it would be the same thing.

It would be nice if we could get the same consideration as the lawyers, but then again, we don't get to make the laws, do we?

Ahhh, but we DO have the same consideration. We're not legally required to have malpractice insurance, are we? In other words, there's no LAW that says we need malpractice. There's only (private) rules by, e.g., hospitals and 3rd party insurers. If a company or other entity required their in-house lawyers or contract lawyers to carry malpractice, it would be the same thing.

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.
