Dear Stephanie,

The placenta serves as an excellent teaching aid within a "Pelvic trainer" while teaching "laparoscopic surgery" to gynaecologists. It is an alternative to "animal surgery" esp. in countries where animal right organisations have rightly banned animal experimentation.

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.
