Thanks Geff. Without this list I may have had a life :-)

Thanks to you for starting it, Roberta and Bruce for webbing it and Barbara Nesbitt for feminizing it (The Women's Forum).

BTW, what is "free time"?

N.B. Thank you to all who have volunteered to answer questions on the Women's Health Forum. We still need more help from talented, compassionate physicians. If each one of you helped one evening a week, we'd have the forum covered. Email me privately if you have any questions. The WHF for October is at http://forums.obgyn.net/womens-health/WOMENSHEALTH.9710/date.html and for November at http://forums.obgyn.net/womens-health/WOMENSHEALTH.9711/date.html

Thank you from all of us. Geff, none of this would be without you vision.

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.
