Webinar #3 in the Considerations for Special Populations Webinar Series

The final webinar offered in the 3-part Considerations for Special Populations Webinar Series discusses key issues in women’s health that correctional health professionals encounter. The presentation will review common gynecologic conditions, including abnormal uterine bleeding, perimenopausal symptoms, cervical and breast cancer screening, as well as unique aspects of contraception provision in corrections, focusing on trauma-informed strategies and health disparities. We will highlight new guidelines from the CDC and USPSTF to equip participants with the latest evidence and practical tips for implementing best practices in women’s health in corrections.

$69 ($59 for CCHPs), includes access to the power point presentation, the webinar recording and CE credit – 1.00 hours for ACCME, ANCC, APA, and CCHP.
