Series Description: 

Obstetrical and Gynecologic medicine is a rapidly evolving field. In light of this there will often be a gap between physicians’ current knowledge on how to handle difficult cases and thus it will impact their competence and may adversely affect patient outcome. The goal of this conference is to close the gap between physicians' current knowledge with discussion of complex and unusual obstetric and gynecologic conditions and cases and the review of evidence-based literature, practice-based audits and peer review processes thus enabling them to provide optimal care at all times for all patients. Sources used to define the gaps: Feedback from the planners and attendees of past Grand Rounds activity which included need of additional knowledge, skills, or system practice development needs that can be provided with additional CME activities.

Target Audience: 

Nurse Practitioner (NP)

Nurse, Registered (RN)

Physicians (MD or DO)

Learning Objectives: 

• Use evidence-based medicine to identify care and optimal treatment options for complex and unusual obstetric and gynecologic conditions.
