"Project ProMed started in January 1993 as a cooperative agreement between the Department of Defense and Apple Computer, Inc. to evaluate the potential use of the Newton AE Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) device in a medical setting. Since this proof of concept phase, the project has evolved to now encompass other PDA devices, the use of wireless networking in medical settings (both within MTFs and in the field), and to develop systems that make use of PDAs as end agents in a wireless distributed computing environment that enable access to remotely based information (including that resident on the Internet as well as large, durable locally stored sources like the Meditag)."

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.
