Re: "Chaparone" To have or not to have?From: DoctorJoe@aol.comSun Oct 26 14:48:46 1997
In a message dated 10/26/97 1:29:44 PM, you wrote: <<Prior to my current position in a private practice, I had never used a "chaparone" in the room with me. It is mandated by my current employer to have the medical assistant present. I interview all new patients in my office prior to taking them to the exam room. But once I enter the exam room I am suppose to have the MA with me. How is it for the rest of the female providers?>> In my experience, all MALE gyn-types are pretty much assumed to be required to have a chaperone. However, some of the female docs (like the residents, especially) don't necessarily have one, esp. if they're in a hurry. However, all things being equal, they usually sort of de facto have one. Personally, I have occ. examined a patient (old patients, who've been with me for a long time) without a chaperone, if it was a "quickie" (e.g., cervical check during pregnancy, feeling an ovarian cyst to be sure it was gone), not a routine complete exam.

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.
