Two > good examples: 1. the baby was verted The Oxford English Dictionary shows that the use of "vert" as a transitive verb, meaning "To turn in a particular direction; to turn or twist out of the normal position" dates back to 1590.

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.
