In Mexico, the problem with teenage pregnancy is BIG..and I mean BIG.. our rate is 20 to 30% of uninfforms and uneducated women who take wrong options, like criminal abortions practiced by non medical people that place a septic instrument inside the uterus and increase our maternal death rate..or the local 16 y/old girl that yesterday has a birth on a toilet and kill the baby because was affraid of her father (who had no knowledge of the pregnancy).. And what are we doing? Almost nothing.. and some strategies are wrong, for example, in the majority of the Social Hospitals of the Goberment, as a GYN, you HAVE to put an IUD in EVERY women who enter to a L&D room, with or withput her consent..thats NO ethical.. That is the reazon why we still are a third world country..

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.
