Women with Disabilities Symposium
Harvard Medical School's Center of Excellence in
Women's Health will be hosting a conference in September 17
entitled "Women with Disabilities Symposium: A Practical
Approach to Providing Quality Care to Women with Visual,
Hearing, and Mobility Impairments."
The conference is designed for health care practice
managers and administrators as well as clinicians.
This one-day conference will be held Saturday, September 17,
from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at Harvard Medical School. The event is
co-sponsored by the Center for Women with Disabilities at Beth
Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
The conference will provide clinicians and practice
managers with the practical knowledge and skills that will enable
them to care more sensitively and effectively for women with
disabilities.
Topics will include: overcoming negative attitudes
and misconceptions; developing participatory patient-clinician
relationships based on the unique needs of each patient; caring
for the younger woman; learning how to make the simple equipment
and physical examination modifications that permit comprehensive
assessment; and a review of appropriate screening and prevention
recommendations, how to perform an accurate functional assessment,
and how to manage secondary medical complications that occur
frequently in women with disabilities.
CME and CEU credits are available.
To make the symposium as meaningful and
interactive as possible, enrollment will be limited to 125
participants. The registration fee is only $75.
