Following this course, the participant should be able to appraise the typical etiology of the Gynecologic disorders presented; apply improved diagnostic methods and ordering of tests in the Primary Care office and Emergency Medicine setting; choose the appropriate treatment and drugs for commonly seen GYN disorders as well as identify treatment failures vs. recurrence. This activity is expected to result in improved competence when making an appropriate diagnosis and providing effective treatment and referral or follow-up care with the overall goal of improving patient outcomes.

The emphasis will be on aligning physician behavior with current guidelines and evidence-based medicine, as indicated within each topic’s specific objectives, with a focus on diagnosis, treatment and when to refer.
