Terry...did you spend 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school and four years of residency thinking you could be self employed only to have the possibility of a forced salary. I sure did and I don't like being forced into working for someone else after all the time and money I spent creating my career. -- Richard Chudacoff, MD, FACOG Sent from my iPhone On Jul 30, 2009, at 6:03 PM, Andrew Folley <agfolley@hotmail.com> wrote: > I have wondered what would happen if helath care reform included a > program whereby primary care docs (peds, FPs and Internists) were > salaried by the government or state (ie like the military or > police).

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.
