Primary Care Women’s Health: Essentials and Beyond 2021

• Compare and contrast direct-to-consumer and consumer-directed genetic testing
• Summarize the risk assessment, prevention, and gender-based treatment of cardiovascular disease
• Identify the benefits, risks, and FDA approved indications for hormone therapy and review the clinical application for postmenopausal women
• Discuss the significance of culturally competent care for LGBTQ individuals and identify strategies for creating LGBTQ affirming environments
