Why, thank you! (I wrote them.) It was actually one long article, which the journal broke into two so they could meet their promised number of CME articles. I'm glad *somebody* read them.

My preferred reading material, also.

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.
