My stint in the Navy, for the last 5 years acquainted me with some of the best doctor I've seen. We learn to to do much with so little. It also acquainted me with some of the worst administrators I've even been associated with, a la HMO. Their philosophy was "This would be a great place to work if it wasn't for all the doctors and patients." Few "gray hairs" in the medical corps, and for good reason. Hopefully this awful aspect of the "first HMO" will not have the pervading affect that has shown up in military medicine. "And that's all I have to say on that matter."

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.
