WORKSHOPS

In Office Hysteroscopy

Friday, October 16 - 1:15 - 5:00 pm

Gynecologists have not fully embraced hysteroscopes like other specialties have for symptomatic problems. Hysteroscopy offers multiple benefits for physicians and patients alike. Hysteroscopy can be a comfortable, office-based, economically wise technique for taking a look that offers the best use of time and resources. It enables the doctor to evaluate endometrial health and then plan the appropriate surgical procedure or make a referral - L. Bradley, MD

Bradley, MD, Director of the Fibroid and Menstrual Disorders Center and Director of Hysteroscopic Services titled “My hysteroscope is my stethoscope!" and a practical how to's lecture by Dr. Holly K.
