Course Description

“The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease”

— Sir William Osler

A woman’s health is often met with gender-specific changes, diseases, health risks and other physical and emotional experiences as she traverses through the decades. This year’s Stages in Women’s Health will focus on “complete patient management” of the female patient and the symptomatic responses in women, which can present differently from men.

This innovative program will focus on practical skills that change healthcare provider performance and improve competencies. “Complete patient management” vignettes will address the female patient at all generational stages, focusing not only on disease states but on the comorbidities tied to each condition and the overall well-being of the patient. Many sessions will also include “Ask the Experts” interactive discussions providing an open forum for participants to ask those hard to answer clinical and practice management questions. Our expert faculty will welcome active participation, encourage discussion and seek to address complex cases that will facilitate open dialogue, problem solving and the formulation of “best practice” strategies for learners.

Number of Credits

Maximum of 15 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)^TM.

Earn additional credits by registering for our optional afternoon colposcopy course worth 2.5 credits. Separate registration is required.
