After all, I've seen some Ob/Gyns who can deliver primary care to their patients *almost* as well as I can (at least the ones who are properly trained). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Woolley -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- St. Paul, Minnesota "Two vast things, each wondrous in itself, contribute to make this book a prodigy--the author's industry and her ignorance.

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.
