Course Description
Women’s bodies are constantly evolving. From the moment of first menstruation to menopause, the body is undergoing constant evolution. Whether for better or worse, hormones and other factors play a role in how women experience daily life.
There is a lot of discussion about the common effects of hormones throughout a women’s life cycle. Yet there are some conditions that although men can acquire them, the predominant patient populations are women. Why do women get these conditions more than men? Some of these are well-known but others are not as common. This program will review several conditions that plague women more than men but we, as health professionals, are not given as much information about. Learn about lesser discussed topics that can affect a women’s systemic health as well as their oral health.
The educational teaching methodology used in this course is live, interactive lecture presented via Zoom webinar with an accompanying PowerPoint presentation. Both the live webinar and the PowerPoint presentation incorporate a variety of audio and visual cues to enhance audience members’ understanding and retention of key concepts. In addition, question and answer periods are provided for at the conclusion of each section of the live webinar.
