Target Audience
This is an interprofessional continuing education activity developed for healthcare professionals as well as those interested in women’s health. Dr. Kip Mackenzie speaks about the origin of the mistreatment/misdiagnosis of endometriosis. Endometriosis affects at least 10% of women worldwide and is still misunderstood. Dr. Mackenzie explains 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, will positively impact students getting referral and treatment for endometriosis. This content 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 CME, CNE, and CPE continuing education credits in Joint Providership with Northeastern University School of Nursing, School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine who are accredited providers.
