The Society of Family Planning and the Society of Maternal Fetal Medicine have released updated guidelines for medication abortion. Tune in as Dr. Blake Zwerling, Assistant Clinical Professor of Complex Family Planning, reviews these updates and shares how they can be used in clinical practice.
Guest: Christena Raines, NP
Perinatal mood disorders are among the most common complications during pregnancy and immediately following delivery. So front line providers need to be able to initiate treatment. Perinatal Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and Adjunct Professor of Psychiatry at UNC Chapel Hill, Christena Raines, discusses her session at the 26th Annual Nurse Practitioners in Women’s Healthcare Conference and the importance of recognizing and treating perinatal mood disorders in our female patients.
Guest: Dawn Kimberly Hopkins, PhD, WHNP-BC
Understanding the manifestations of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can help to identify this condition in women better. And though it’s a common condition, some providers are unaware of how to diagnose it. Dig into the pathophysiology of PCOS with Dr. Dawn Kimberly Hopkins, Research Associate at the Henry Jackson Foundation in Bethesda, Maryland.
Guest: Genevieve Hofmann, NP
Menopause can impact everyday life, and many women go untreated for their menopausal symptoms. To learn more about some of the complex issues surrounding menopause management, join Dr. Genevieve Hofmann, Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner, Certified Menopause Clinician, and Assistant Professor of OB/GYN Health at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, who will be discussing these strategies at the 2023 Annual NPWH Women’s Healthcare Conference.
Guest: Jennifer Herrmeyer, RN
Approximately less than 30 percent of domestic violence patients will seek care for their injuries, so it’s important for us to reach out to those in need. How can we be better at identifying and caring for these patients? Tune in to learn more with Ms. Jennifer Herrmeyer, Emergency Department Nurse at Hennepin Healthcare in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Guest: Sadia Haider, MD, PhD
After a historic year of legislation for abortion and contraception, there are still many questions surrounding patient care. Tune in as Dr. Sadia Haider, Interim Chair of OB-GYN at RUSH University and President Elect of the Society of Family Planning, discusses the research presented at the 2023 Society of Family Planning Annual Meeting.
Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP
Guest: Emily M. Godfrey, MD, MPH
A recent study presented at the 2023 ACOG Annual Clinical and Scientific Meeting examined patient perspectives on clinician communication regarding medication abortion during telemedicine versus in-clinic visits and found that patients prefer to receive abortion care via telemedicine. Learn more about the study’s design and results with Dr. Charles Turck and Dr. Emily Godfrey, Professor of Family Medicine and Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Washington.
Guest: Mitchell D. Creinin, MD
Dive into the research presented at the 2023 ACOG Annual Scientific and Clinical Meeting that found that the use of levonorgestrel 52-mg intrauterine device (IUD) in patients with heavy menstrual bleeding reduced blood loss by more than 90 percent over six months with Dr. Mitch Creinin, Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology as well as the Director of the Complex Family Planning Fellowship at the University of California Davis Health.
Guest: Mitchell D. Creinin, MD
While the use of levonorgestrel 52-mg intrauterine device (IUD) has been shown to reduce blood loss in patients with heavy menstrual bleeding, these same patients are at an increased likelihood of expelling the IUD. That’s why it’s important to set realistic expectations with patients, as Dr. Mitch Creinin from the University of California Davis Health explains.
Guest: Tiffany A. Moore Simas, MD, MPH, MEd, FACOG
Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP
New guidelines regarding the screening, diagnosis, and pharmacological treatment of perinatal mental health conditions as well as resources like in-depth toolkits and implementation guides are now available to help optimize the management of patients with perinatal mental health conditions. Find out how these tools can help you better address one of the most common complications of pregnancy with Dr. Charles Turck and Dr. Tiffany Moore Simas, the Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at UMass Chan Medical School who presented a few sessions focusing on this exact topic at the 2023 ACOG Annual Clinical and Scientific Meeting.
Guest: Tiffany A. Moore Simas, MD, MPH, MEd, FACOG
According to a poster that was featured at the 2023 ACOG Annual Clinical and Scientific Meeting, only 75 percent of patients at UMass Chan Medical School were screened for perinatal mental health conditions, and of those screened, white patients were more likely to be connected with appropriate care and treatment than black or Hispanic patients. Dive deeper into the findings that underscore the importance of addressing disparities and inequities in perinatal depression care with Dr. Tiffany Moore Simas, Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at UMass Chan Medical School.
Host: Lee P. Shulman, MD, FACMG, FACOG

Despite relatively normal platelet function, in the setting of severe thrombocytopenia, intracranial hemorrhage is a consequence. Drs. Shulman and Bussel discuss advances in management strategies and concrete steps you can take to lower the risk and stop the progression of this disorder in your patients.

Despite having considerable clinical consequences, this area of medicine is not fully understood by many clinicians. Drs. Shulman and Moise provide expert insight on red blood cell alloimmunization, highlighting essential pathophysiology and current and evolving management strategies. Join us to learn new ways to approach this complicated and rare clinical condition.
Host: Hector O. Chapa, MD, FACOG
Guest: Susan Crowe, MD
Both UNICEF and WHO recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life, starting within the very first hour of birth. But are we adhering to that recommendation? Joining Dr. Hector Chapa to discuss the importance of breastfeeding shortly after delivery and how we can help our patients and their newborns reap the benefits of this golden hour is Dr. Susan Crowe, Director of Outpatient Breastfeeding Medicine Consultative Services at Stanford Children's Health who recently spoke about this topic at the 2021 ACOG Annual Clinical and Scientific Meeting.
Host: Ana Maria Rosario
Guest: Patricia M. Boatwright, MD
As any healthcare professional would agree, being passionate about your practice is key to having a good relationship with your patients. But choosing a specific specialty isn’t always an easy or clear decision. Joining Ana Maria Rosario to share how she came to her decision and a few experiences that made her into the healthcare professional she is today is Dr. Patricia Boatwright, an ob-gyn and Associate Professor of Surgery and Population Health Sciences at Duke University School of Medicine.
Guest: Patricia M. Boatwright, MD
Ob-gyn Dr. Patricia Boatwright once cared for a patient who told her the following philosophy: "If it doesn't bother you, don't bother it." Sadly, this is far from the only isolated event in which healthcare professionals hear this or a similar mantra from their patients. To help us better manage this all-too-common occurrence, Dr. Boatwright walks us through this particular patient case and how she encourages her patients to listen to their bodies rather than their peers.
Host: Ana Maria Rosario
Guest: Patricia M. Boatwright, MD
When a patient comes to an appointment saying, “I want” or “I need,” it can be difficult to challenge them. But as ob-gyn Dr. Patricia Boatwright explains, doing so is absolutely critical to ensuring they receive the best and most appropriate care. Tune in to hear Ana Maria Rosario and Dr. Boatwright discuss a patient case and how we can do right by our patients, even if it means challenging their—or even a colleague's—opinion.
Host: Paul Doghramji, MD
Guest: Megan Arnot
Menopause is an inevitable transition in every woman’s life, but what if engaging in a basic physiological need like sex could delay its onset? Researching this potential connection is Megan Arnot, a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Anthropology at the University College London. As the lead author of the study, she walks us through her findings and the range of factors they investigated, like the type of sexual activity and whether or not women lived with a partner.
Host: Jenn Simmons, MD
Guest: Susan Domchek, MD
