The service is not part of my (hospital based/physicianemployee) practice, but in another facility owned by the hospital. From myread of a recent NC medical board statement re physician practice sales and promotions of services and goods, this is at least on the slippery slope of what could/should be offered in a medical office. I know I can (and shall) solicit further guidance from the State Board, but listers' comments would be welcome,  and perhaps best done off line. >  >Thanks >  >Hank -- "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans."- John Lennon Next message: R.

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.
