Re: AIUM CertificationFrom: Richard Lowensohn (lowensoh@ohsu.edu)Fri Jan 3 14:15:30 1997
>> <DoctorJoe@aol.com> 01/03/97 12:20pm >>> <<Dr. Brenner wrote that he was unwilling to spend $4000 to get certified to do OB sonography. We came to the same conclusion. Our volume isn't that high, as the Radiology department does all the routine scans, and the perinatologists primarily just scan consult patients. We decided that we would just have give ourselves "certification", as some of us have been doing it for decades. >> Hmm.... does completion of an accredited OB-GYN residency imply automatic "certification" in obstetric ultrasound, or not? And completion of an MFM fellowship DOES, right? Joe P. ----------------------------------- I really don't think so - I do think, however, that an MFM practitioner within a ----------------------------------- peer-reviewed department should have the responsibility to decide if they are ----------------------------------- capable or not. We don't get special certificates to do Keilland's as OB's, and I never got a certificate in doing PUBS or other procedures, let alone reading a fetal monitor. Why is ultrasound so different?

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.
