All Patients aren’t created equally. Is your care endangering your female patients?

Historically, in medicine, what we know, and how we practice has mostly been led by men. Due to normal human bias, this has led to a very male-centric model of medicine. Did you know most medical research does not involve female participants, particularly including new drugs? Come learn how these biases have led to missed diagnoses and inappropriate treatment and how to avoid them while treating your next female patient.

At the conclusion of this presentation, the participant will be able to discuss:

- Why much of traditional medical practice is too male-centric and how it affects women.

- The misdiagnosis and treatment of acute coronary events in women and how to avoid these issues.

- The differences in stroke presentation, assessment, and care for women.
