And it's purely for the public good that we help the states erect licensing, and forbid anybody but physicians from doing anything that smells like medicine.

Please explain what it is, exactly, about IUDs that a nurse practitioner is intrinsically incapable of learning to the same level of mastery as a physician. If you cannot do this, then obviously your entire argument is about as substantial as wet toilet paper.

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.
