I gave that to my daughter when she was taking anatomy. We need one shaped like a uterus or ovary, although that would be a little hard to hold onto. I actually prefer rollerball pens and prefer to buy my own also. --- Dr Eberhard W Lisse <el@lisse.na> wrote: > I use 50 cents BIC pens and by them in bulk.

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.
