There is this article that discusses Chilowsky's work.

http://asa.aip.org/books/electro.html

"Of course, cemeteries were good primary sources only for those who had died. For those still living, Hunt turned to the telephone directory. In Chapter 1 we learn that the idea of using high frequency sound to detect submarines was first proposed by a Russian engineer. Constantin Chilowsky, in Switzerland in 1914. The story of how Chilowsky satisfied a unique test in order to get a hearing for his proposal is recounted by Hunt in a footnote on p. 46. Almost as bizarre as the story itself is the tale of how Hunt dug up the material for the footnote. While in New York to attend a meeting, he decided to see whether the New York telephone directory listed any Chilowsky's. It did, in fact a "C. Chilowsky," and when Hunt called the number, he found the main he was looking for. Hunt then visited Chilowsky and obtained from him the story related in the footnote. "

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.
