Post dates means over 40 weeks completed gestation, post term means over 42 weeks completed gestation. If you read the Multicentre Trial on Induction vs Monitoring of patients over 41 weeks (I used to call it the Canadian study until someone pointed out that there were other international sites involved), the recommendations are for induction of ALL patients over 41 weeks.

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.
