The Women's Health Medical Education Network is an accredited series of
educational activities that provide obstetricians, gynecologists, nurse
practitioners, and physician assistants with critical information they need to
better recognize and appropriately manage important issues in women’s health,
including hormone replacement therapy, bacterial vaginosis, nutrition, and
anemia. Programs will include information on screening, accurate diagnosis,
risks of inadequate treatment, therapeutic options, and emerging data.

symptoms and the risks/benefits associated with each
-
Discuss recent evidence comparing the safety of transdermal estradiol/estrogen

patient-specific treatment plans
