Event Description

Our outstanding faculty will present clinically relevant presentations and discussions of new developments and established concepts in women’s health. This update is intended for providers of obstetrics, gynecology, and women’s primary care.

The course will allow maximum interaction between participants and faculty through frequent question and answer sessions, and break-out sessions during which participants are invited to bring their questions to a smaller group forum. A course syllabus including outlines of presentations and pertinent references will be available to all preregistered attendees.

At the conclusion of the course, participants will be able to:

• demonstrate improved clinical breast exam technique
• understand treatment of vulvar diseases
• understand complications with the use of mesh kits and other emerging surgical issues
• perform optimal pre-op evaluations
• evaluate and initially treat infertility
• discuss new developments in gynecological oncology
