OVERVIEW
With the wide range of options for contraception and the many influences on contraceptive care, women need personalized guidance in selecting the most appropriate form of contraception to meet their needs. This expert-to-expert commentary explores oral contraceptives, including over-the-counter options, and ways to communicate key points to patients about these options.
Following this activity, join us for our Women’s Health Two-Day Master Class, an intimate, virtual meeting that explores unmet needs and disparities in women’s health, strategies to empower patients to take part in their own health, and latest diagnostic and therapeutic advances.
This program will take place before the Women's Health Two-Day Master Class (a separate registration for the Women's Health Two-Day Master Class is required).
