Description:
The purpose of this lecture is to update clinicians on key messages to support the clinical navigation of the ever increasing challenges of clinical and pharmacologic principles associated with womens health issues commonly encountered in primary care. We explore the impact of these challenges throughout the lifespan. 

The desired outcome is that attendees will adopt the stated learning objectives to improve their professional practice. Addressing pharmacological consequences of aging. iated with womens health issues commonly encountered in primary care. We explore the impact of these challenges throughout the lifespan.
