If you buy it you will suddenly find all sorts of rational for using it. My question is this. Are the results of the tests going to significantly change how you pratice medicine? Are you going to stop giving ERT just because of a BMD? If ERT is protective agaist heart disease and this is still the Number one killer of women how is a BMD going to change how you treat folks others than increase your bottom line. >

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.
