I have been measuring and treating for the past 2 years or so - more assertively now than in the beginning. I really got more assertive after the NEOGS conference last October where the colon oncologist who talked said that the Number 1 prevention for colon cancer was to get that D level up to the 40+ 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.
