🩺 Program Overview

The UCSF Controversies in Women’s Health 2025 course delivers an evidence-based and practical review of the most important and debated topics in modern women’s healthcare.

Presented by University of California San Francisco in collaboration with the Division of General Internal Medicine and the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences, this program focuses on real-world clinical decision-making across ambulatory care and telemedicine settings.

The course addresses preventive medicine, reproductive health, menopause, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, obesity, infections, cancer prevention, sexual health, and care disparities affecting women throughout the lifespan.

Through expert-led lectures, interactive discussions, and case-based teaching, participants gain practical strategies for managing controversial clinical issues, improving patient communication, supporting vulnerable populations, and optimizing interdisciplinary collaboration in women’s healthcare.
