Dear Bob: I agree with you 100%. Let tell that this is not my case. I work in a private Hospital and that terrible situation that I was talking happens in some Social Hospitals of the goberment. But let me tell that is relly true. As a worker of those hospitals, if you don't do that rule (place an IUD in every women) you can loose your job (and there's a list of dozens of OB/GYN's waiting for a place) and if you do that rule, you get some xtra money. I know what I'm talking, beleive me..

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.
