While I cannot comment on Obstetric care, it should be noted that military gynecologic care does not include abortion service. During one of my residency interviews with a former Air Force Ob/Gyn I was told the story of the daughter of an enlisted man living at a remote base. She was diagnosed with an anencephalic fetus in the mid-trimester, and because of our government's decision that abortion rights don't apply to those served by military hospitals, and her families inability to afford the trip to a distant site to do the procedure, she had to carry this doomed fetus to term. I'm sure that was a pleasant birth experience. -- Andrew Ross Albert Einstein College of Medicine '96 !!! 9 more days !!!

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.
