Thank you, Dr. Worrall, I totally agree in regards to experience to obtain good results.

We tried to contact the referring physician about this but she must be an out-of-area physician as we could not locate her. Unfortunately we will have to wait until the pt comes in to get a phone number and get clarification.

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.
