A Personally, I would not want >even an M.D. to do my sonography without proper training. There are >just too may horror stories. It is not as simple as many think. I completely agree. However, there is a major advantage to having an Obstetriian doing the ultrasound scans rather than a radiologist. The Ob has a complete understanding of the clinical situation and this aids in the interpretation. Case in point--The diagnosis of placenta previa at a 20 week ultrasound in a patient who has no history of bleeding. IMHO this should not be diagnosed as placenta previa. Rather the sonographer should merely describe the location of the placenta. How many times do we see a low lying placenta covering the os at 20 weeks which never pans out to be a true previa in the third trimester.

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.
