Malcolm,

The Society of Perinatal Obstetricians (SPO) is what the UK society of Maternal Fetal medicine is attempting to copy. It started as an offshoot from the SGI (Society of Gynaecological investigators). It meets in nice places every year in the southern states at end of January/begin of February. Next year it is at Anaheim, California in January (the SGI meet in San Diego in March) Tough life!

Unfortunately I am missing both meetings this year(again third year in a row) In January I am in Sheffield and in March in Warrick for the MFMS. California is far more attractive but I was there in the summer.

You should try and go to the SPO if you can, some things very good, some OK some rubbish as at any 'scientific' meeting

It is always educational to learn from our colonial cousins about studies they have done which appeared in the European literature some years before. An example is their recent discovery of prostaglandins for induction of labour.

The fetal medicine tends to be more advanced than us in the UK but we are ahead in maternal medicine I think.(but I am biased!)

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.
