For those with an interest in World Health and economics, I recommend this Friday's Bill Moyer's NOW on PBS... See: http://www.pbs.org/now/science/gates.html

In a "teaser" video clip advertising the episode, Bill Gates says that capitalism is not working in the context of world health.

Some quotes: "In 'Health, Wealth, and Bill Gates,' a NOW with Bill Moyers special edition, airing Friday, May 9, 2003 at 9 P.M. on PBS ([ fcp://@fc.uams.edu,%238400389sched.html ]check local listings), NOW provides a fascinating look into the mind, motivations, and philanthropy of Bill Gates." "The program reveals Gates as a student of public health with a keen understanding of the intricate policy, scientific, and social hurdles facing the abatement of epidemics like AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, and trachoma. The intimate conversation opens a window into Gates' awakening as 'the steward' of his wealth, aware of its awesome responsibility and its potential."

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.
