Once heard of a chair at a residency program in the midwest who told his residents "I'd never recommend doing a vaginal breech, but would be willing to testify for the plantiff at the trial." I think with the medio-legal climate of today, how can anyone justify (to their insurance carriers, not to mention a jury) a poor outcome if these "experts" are willing to take the stand against such a procedure? While all the texts have criteria for vaginal breeches, no one in my residency (ie. the perinatalogist) where will to supervise, except in the case of a second twin (if we could grab the feet quickly enough before the transducer externally verted the fetus.)

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.
