Woolley: "Re: >Repugnant ethics< thread Wooley/Bello" Let me see now, I have two choices Yes or No. and if I don't answer that is a Yes. Did I get that right? Reminds me of the 50's and McCarthyism. Are you a communist? Have you ever been a communist? Have you ever known a communist? Do you know what communism is? Yes to any of the questios is yes to all of the questions and if you don't answer that is yes to all of the questions. Now that I have that out of the way, I will respond that if I were in a situation where I were hiring an OBGYN and my business was losing out to a practice down the street because they had a female OBGYN, I would go out and advertise for a female OBGYN. In fact, I think it would not be a violation of the law if I were to put that in teh JOB DESCRIPTION before I advertised. I know it is legal to advertise for a person who speaks english and spanish and not hire anyone who doesn't if it is in the job description. -- @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ R.

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.
