Controversies in Women’s Health 2025

Overview

Increasing appreciation of the unique needs of women patients and women health care providers has created a need for innovative educational programs on women’s health. Increasingly difficult management decisions must be made in diverse ambulatory environments and via telemedicine. Attention to health disparities and the care of vulnerable patients and close collaboration with diverse specialists is essential for quality care for all women. This innovative program will provide a practical update on a full range of common but controversial issues in women’s health. Emphasis will be placed on new developments in preventive care for women, issues in reproductive health, clinical strategies in the diagnosis and treatment of common gynecologic and medical disorders of women. Interactive questions will amplify learning and ample time will be provided for questions and discussion.

The course is sponsored by the University of California, San Francisco.
