I'm afraid this is not something devoted to high risk ob only but rather something that falls on your head. These velamentous insertions are diagnosed post partum in 99% of cases (don't ask me a ref for this figure..). For things like velamentous insertion or shoulder dystocia we are all of us "High Risk Obs".

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.
