September 17-18, 2021A virtual conference for women and for the health practitioners who care for them.For decades, drugs and devices were tested for safety and efficacy only in men, with often devastating results for women. Meanwhile sex hormones are suspected of playing roles in many diseases that affect women more often than men, women can exhibit symptoms quite different from men for the same condition, and can struggle to get accurate diagnoses. Join an international panel with very different perspectives, to track the origins of our women’s healthcare gap, and offer ways to improve the medical care of women. Organizing Committee Sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Equity and Inclusion, Also Supported by the Office of the Dean, Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University and the Department of Radiology, Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University |
