UW Health Continuing Education Conference Series - Women's Healthcare Strategies
Join us for the first UWHealth Northern Illinois Provider Education Series. This session will be focused on Women's Healthcare Strategies. Over the course of this one-day symposium, learners will engage with experts in a wide variety of topics related to Women's Health. Topics include updates in the treatment of pelvic floor conditions, developing treatment plans for breast cancer patients, addressing depression and anxiety with female and adolescent patients, and current best practices in the treatment of thyroid conditions.
We are excited to offer this activity in-person! We look forward to seeing you all at the Schwartz Auditorium, SwedishAmerican Women and Children’s Hospital later this fall. In-person attendance is preferred. Please only select virtual if you are confident you would be unable to attend in-person.
As always, we will monitor any situation that may make in-person gatherings infeasible and will update registered attendees if there are any changes.
