Those are usually just poor planning or outright mistakes. You THINK you're delivering a 38 weeker and it's really 34 weeks.

I believe we're talking here about severe premature deliveries, like in the mid-20 week range.

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.
