It's important to know the nature of the stress. Financial - is she working 2 jobs? Marital - is she being subjected to physical abuse, or maybe STDs ? etc..etc.. Does her stress level interfere with her ability to eat or rest normally? You probably can't do too much about it other than to reinforce healthy coping.

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.
