In our session, we discuss all the recent CDC updated guidelines for STI treatment during pregnancy. We will review the changes in a fun and informative way. We will present real-world, easy-to-implement strategies for treatment.
Myths, mystery, and misinformation about female sexual function and dysfunction abound. Let’s break down what you should know and current guidelines for evaluation and treatment of female sexual function and dysfunction.
Miscarriage, fetal demise, birth trauma, parental anxieties, and so much more. How to help patients cope and heal during the peripartum period. Important ACOG updates for behavioral health will be reviewed along with nonpharmacological evidence-based strategies for hope and healing.
Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy are not only common but pose substantial risk to both mother and fetus. Come hear a review of treatment of urgent hypertension, consideration of recent studies related to hemodynamically-mediated drug choice, and additional pharmacologic pearls.
Neurologic emergencies are a too-common source of maternal morbidity and mortality. Recognizing and managing these emergencies remain a critical aspect in providing high-quality obstetric care. We will review some of the most recent recommendations for efficiently diagnosing and managing acute conditions such as seizure, stroke, and meningitis.
New breast cancer diagnoses are rising among women younger than 50 years old. Hear the latest on screening, genetics, and special considerations for this population.

Meredith Williamson, PhD.
Antenatal corticosteroids for fetal lung maturation launched into the realm of obstetrics in 1972. Despite decades of use, few have questioned the doses or the intervals used, but this is changing. What is the earliest recommended gestational age for use? Why all the controversy regarding use in the late preterm interval? We will address these questions and more.
Shoulder dystocia is an obstetrical emergency and identifying it early is crucial for intervention. This rapid-fire review will help you remember the steps to take if you find yourself in this situation.
What’s new in this longstanding presenting problem? Terminology, evaluation, and treatment options across multiple age groups have come a long way. Find out what you might have missed and options for women at every stage.
The rate of sepsis appears to be increasing. Maternal sepsis is a significant cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. In this session, we will review the SOFA score and its utilization, discuss antibiotic choices, IV fluid resuscitation rates, and steroid contraindications.
The field of obstetrics was born out of midwifery. The concept of second stage of labor in the lithotomy position wasn’t how it was always done. This session will review evidence behind maternal positional changes and how they can assist with labor.
Hot topics in menopause: non-hormonal treatment options, myths, HRT, and osteoporosis. Learn pearls on how to best treat the growing population of menopausal women.
