Family practice and OBFrom: Glen Elrod (dr99645@yahoo.com)Fri Dec 28 15:59:16 2007
Greetings all! I have been away while separating from the service and moving back to Alaska to start a private practice. So far so good, but one thing I've run across at our hospital is with regards to Family Practice and OB. We have several FP docs that are doing OB. We even have one that is credentialled for c-sections. I'm OK with that bit, mostly. What I have found out is that the FP docs do not have any set OB doc backup that they use/consult/etc. When the time rolls around that a patient of theirs needs a c/s, they simply call the EMTALA OB call doc and ask them to 'do a c/s' My question to the group is, is that standard of care across the country? Is that what EMTALA call is meant for? If I were to try and make a change, what sort of legal legal (Joe) do I have to justify them picking an OB and consulting them. Its good to be back. Glen D.

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.
