It is in fact very interesting for me that I have unbeknownst supported UCT's teachings. John, I suspect, knows (of) the three consultants I worked with in Windhoek, they come from UCT (FRCOG) , Stellenbosch (M.Med.) and Natal (FCOG(SA)) and I assume therefor that this is consensus in South Africa.

This is just name calling. And, I fail to see any dogma in John's and my posts.

Well, I do recall de Villiers publishing some years ago that Pommeroy were the T/L of choice post partum, but nowadays all the interns coming up from Stellenbosch having done an elective with him in Paarl are in awe about his mastery of the LapScope. Times and opinions change :-)-O.

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.
