Fibroids and fibroid-associated symptoms, including AUB, pelvic discomfort, and subfertility, are a clinical arena naturally suited for patient-centered care (Ghant, et. al. 2016; Marsh et. al. 2017). The goal of the course is to inspire the learners to use patient-centered principles in management, as well as knowledge of the data on safety and outcomes for options in fibroid management, including pharmacologic, uterine-sparing, and extirpative treatments and procedures.
Learning Objectives: At the end of this course, the participant will be able to: 1) Integrate data on patient knowledge and preferences on fibroid management into the clinical care of their fibroid patients; 2) Integrate the evidence on safety and effectiveness when counseling their patients on treatment options; and 3) Compare and contrast uterine-sparing procedures with hysterectomy when counseling their patients on treatment options.
