Project ECHO: Recognition and Care of Women with Bleeding Disorders

Session 2: Testing for Bleeding Disorders in OB/GYN Care

Our second webinar in a four-part series for OB/GYNs will look at the common labs ordered for patients with Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (HMB) and how to interpret the results. What additional testing can be done if the index of suspicion continues to be raised by the preliminary results? While this presentation is open to the public, the content is intended for OB/GYNs and will provide one CME credit for physicians, PAs, and nurses.

Host/Moderator: Patricia Huguelet, MD
Presenter: Maureen Baldwin, MD
Target Audience: OB/GYN
