OOPS!!!

Should have read (capitalized words below):

You can also point to the NIH Consensus Development Conference statement on ovarian cancer screening, treatment and follow-up (quoting):

"With current knowledge and technology, the benefits of screening a woman who has one or no first-degree relatives with ovarian cancer are unproven. The RISKS may outweigh the BENEFITS, particularly in women with no family history or other high risk factors. There is currently no evidence to support screening these women."

sorry...big difference in the two meanings

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.
