Who is this for?
This is an interprofessional continuing education activity developed for healthcare professionals as well as those interested in women’s health. Dr. Kip Mackenzie will speak about the origin of the mistreatment/misdiagnosis of endometriosis.
Endometriosis affects at least 10% of women worldwide and is still misunderstood. Dr. Mackenzie will explain the signs and symptoms of endometriosis, and how healthcare providers’ awareness, especially those working with adolescent girls such as school nurses, family physicians, pediatricians, and pharmacists, can positively impact a student for referral and treatment of endometriosis.
This subject is important for the healthcare team and collaborations between physicians, pharmacists, and nurses is vital for proper diagnosis and treatment in adolescents and young women.
This event is accredited for CNE, and CPE continuing education credits in Joint Providership with Northeastern University School of Nursing, School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
