i have worked in two diff facilities using the same dose protocol (25/50mcg); in 1 place did cont mon and other did intermittent - do difference in outcome; no issues with fetl dist. michelle murray is advocating for cont monitoring in the seminars she gives - reason is that it is a continuous release/uptake of the drug.

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.
