Martin, I am preparing a "Case Study" of a TORCH/STARCH fetus for presentation at the SDMS Conference in Orlando this month. I would like to point out Dr. Teele's observations on STARCH, and give her a proper citation. Was this information published anywhere? Perhaps in the meeting transactions? If so, please provide the specifics, publication, date, page, author(s) if more than Teele, and formal title. Thanks very much.

Peace, Terry J. DuBose, M.S., RDMS

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.
