Re: "Chaparone" To have or not to have?From: Gail Waldby MD (gwaldby@basec.net)Sun Oct 26 15:30:50 1997
I am a female provider and use a chaperone. As far as all males using a chaperone, that is not universal. We just had a notorious South Dakota case where a family physician was accused of raping women during pelvic exams. He never had a chaperone--he contended that the women patients did not like an outsider in the room. He won the criminal rape suits against him, but permanently lost his medical license.

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.
