Emerging Topics in Women’s Health
Society for Women's Health Research has a rich history of convening interdisciplinary groups of researchers, health care providers, patient advocates, and policy leaders to address diseases and conditions that disproportionately, differently, or exclusively affect women – from autoimmune and cardiovascular diseases to gynecologic and maternal health. This pre-conference symposium will chronicle advancements in women’s health care and research over recent decades. Panelists will present how researchers, providers, patients, and policy stakeholders have and must continue to work together by providing examples of initiatives, strategies, and successful outcomes for key women’s health issues. Attendees will then engage in a live Q&A session with the panel to discuss approaches to address persistent gaps and disparities in women’s health.

1. Describe recent advances in screening and treatment of a variety of topics related to women's health, including cardiovascular health, breast health, bone health, mental health, reproductive health, and sex and gender differences that impact care.
2. Explain current data that will facilitate the prevention, diagnosis, and management of disorders and diseases in women, including cardiovascular health, breast health, bone health, mental health, reproductive health and sex and gender differences that impact care.
3. Identify evidence-based approaches to management of disorders and diseases in women, including cardiovascular health, breast health, bone health, mental health, reproductive health, and sex and gender differences that impact care.
