However, medical staff privileging has become quite contentious even in small rural hospitals like the one I practice in. How do you do an abdominal hysterectomy without opening the vagina? Or did you mean you would not do an abdominoplasty if you did an abdominal hysterectomy? Would your opinion change if the patient was thin except for the lower abdomen and wanted an abdominoplasty at time of abdominal hysterectomy?

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.
