Stephanie-- I have heard of some institutions using placentas for IV training--the smaller ones are especially good for neonatal practice from what I understand, but I don't have any experience with this. Some people to take them home and bury them--some planting a bush or tree on top of it, and making it sort of a "monument" to the baby. I know some cultures eat them, but let's not go there, OK?? Looking foward to the other replies you get. Julie in NH

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.
