Hsu: "chorioamniotic separation" Dear Dr Hsu, Mild chorioamniotic separation is fairly common at that age and statistically the risk for preterm labor, growth problems and other problems is probably somewhat increased. Some studies have found no increased risk. Jim Smeltzer MD At 11:35 AM 1/3/1999 -0600, you wrote: >I happen to be a general internist.

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.
