This is amazing results in that AMA only picks up 1/4 to 1/5 & Triple screen is about 1/2 as well. Our work & many others all show a dramatic increase in ectopic detection. There should be a good reason NOT to do TVS in order to omit it. - Personal opinion Jim Smeltzer :-)>

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.
