Re: Circs - Peds or OB? (no politics please...)From: Laurie Lovely, M.D. (llovely@med.unc.edu)Tue Mar 31 05:08:43 1998

Where I trained, we split the year: for 8 months the OBs did the circs, the remaining 4 months the peds folks did them. The pediatricians exclusively used Plastibells. We generally used Gomcos, unless we had a whole boatload to do at once, when we used Plastibells because of the speed. The other thing I didn't like about doing circs was that we never got to see the healed result. The pediatricians do! BTW, at my hosp, scheduling was a nightmare because the infants had to be NPO for greater than 2 hours (and when they're feeding every three hours, sometimes it could be trickly to work that window into a resident's schedule).

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.
