I operate Wednesdays. I tell them not to plan anything too exciting on Thrusday and if tehy're really soft to take the weekend. I wouldn't dream of suggesting anylonger than Monday as a total extreme. I'd finger anyone who needed two weeks off probably had major complications warranting a return to theatre!

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.
