>Dan: I have to agree with Robert. We have 2 ultrasound machines in our office and do a lot of songoraphy, both gyn and ob. However, doing an adequate scan on either an ob or gyn patient *is* time-consuming. Trying to combine an ob sonogram with an office visit is difficult, since patients invariably save their questions until *after* the ultrasound, as they are desperately trying to see if it is "still a girl" during the ultrasound! So, you spend time scanning, then a lot more time answering important questions, going over lab work, checking the fundal height, etc. It really will cause havoc to try to do an ultrasound each visit.

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.
