The Women’s Health Summit is an innovative, must-attend event dedicated to advancing women’s health care and education. Set to kick off on September 26 in San Antonio, Texas, this two-and-a-half-day groundbreaking summit will bring together leading experts, innovative researchers, and passionate health care professionals to address the critical gaps in women’s health education and care. This transformative summit is the collaboration of Informa Medical Division brands: The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M), Cardiometabolic Health Congress (CMHC), PAINWeek, BRAINWeek, LiVDerm, and the Medical Aesthetics Professionals (MAP) Meeting. Leveraging the expertise of each of these renowned brands, this comprehensive event aims to revolutionize the field of women’s health.
The Critical Need for Women's Health Education
The landscape of medical education has revealed that less than 30 percent of medical schools incorporate gender-specific topics in their curriculum, highlighting a significant gap in women’s health knowledge. Not only does such a gap have far-reaching implications when it comes to the general lack of understanding of women’s unique health needs, but it also greatly impacts patient care, leaving health care professionals ill-equipped to address gender-specific issues which can potentially lead to misdiagnoses and ineffective treatments. Recognizing this gap, the Women’s Health Summit offers a comprehensive, expert-led program focused exclusively on women’s health. From reproductive health and skin health to cardiovascular risks and pain management, this summit provides an intensive learning experience. Attendees can expect to gain access to cutting-edge research, learn practical clinical applications, network with industry experts, and enhance their ability to provide exceptional care for women.
