Women's Health Conference
Activity Details
Activity Name: Women's Health Conference
Needs Assessment:

The UC Davis Health System is committed to discovering and sharing knowledge to advance health. This knowledge and evidence based course is designed to change physician competence through cutting edge information about new frontiers in heart disease in women, reproduction, and other key topics in health and general gynecology. Faculty presenting and interacting with participants at this activity have been selected on the basis of their comprehensive clinical experience and academic excellence.

The conference will gather a prestigious group of physicians, nurses, and allied healthcare providers to learn practical, clinical information about cutting-edge therapeutic protocols, advances in diagnosis and management, and innovative translational research advances that impact health care.

The symposia on cardiovascular and general health will provide an update on health care for women and focus on gender-specific aspects and care of diseases occurring in women. Through lectures, panel discussions, question and answer sessions, breakfast roundtables, and case-based discussions the course is designed to address the sex and gender-based differences in many health conditions that affect women and men. There are few courses nationwide that address the broad scope of these issues.
