Women's Health
$200 — 5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™
A midwife in a remote jungle village wakes you at 3 AM because of a breech birth. A malnourished 16-year old primigravida keeps throwing up her prenatal vitamin. 3 million girls undergo unsafe abortion annually...and one of them is brought to your mission, unresponsive and septic. An HIV+ mom in a refugee camp asks you if she should breastfeed her HIV- baby. Women's health issues are highly represented and have a high impact in underserved settings. This course covers Maternal Health, Births, Cultural Competency, Genitourinary & Breast Health and a brief introduction to prenatal ultrasound--all vital for any OBGYN or non-OBGYN provider caring for women in mission settings.
