When our ER was redone a few years ago, the hospital's head nurse (fortunately, a patient of mine) came to our department and *asked* us what we needed. We have a power table (they wanted one, so who is to argue) in the ER, and use this for a gyn exam room. Like Ashley, I have given up on bedpan pelvic exams--better to call ahead, and meet the patient in the Gyn room and do a real exam. It's easier and less hassle for the nurses, as all the stuff they need is in the room, and the docs aren't bitchin'. . .

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.
