53rd Annual Clinical Meeting of the Southwestern Gynecologic Assembly (JS1812C)

November 30, 2018 to December 1, 2018

Rules and regulations, whether federally mandated, or in the form of guidance from our professional societies, make up a large percentage of what an obstetrician gynecologist has to deal with on a daily basis. Some guidelines are helpful and provide structure and consistency to the care we offer. Others get in the way of competent, evidencebased, compassionate care.

Becoming an expert in caring for patients with complex medical and social needs is crucial to every healthcare provider. It is our goal to present you with tools to mitigate the challenges that restrictions around care provide, as well as practical clinical updates.

Topics to be covered include the latest breast cancer screening guidelines, including the significance of breast density, considerations for elective oophorectomy, and the diagnosis and management of placental abnormalities. In
addition, we will discuss the rules regulating abortion in the state of Texas, and bring you previews of what to expect from the 2019 Texas legislative session and information on how to be an advocate for women’s health.

New in 2018, we will also feature a clinical image challenge, where we hope to engage you with images that speak a thousand words.

We hope you will join us for an exciting conference where we’ll help you stay informed, connected and inspired in obstetrics and gynecology.
