Is this not a misuse of a medical exam? These exams are being done by untrained personnel and go as long as 45 minutes. What about the bioeffects? If parents want pretty pictures of their babies and it is safe why is that misuse and pushing your personal agenda not? ----__JNP_000_134d.056c.6fa4 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> I am less concerned about the bioeffects than I am about the knowledge and

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.
