FEATURED MEDICAL EDUCATION TOPIC: Preventive Medicine Screening Guidelines for Women’s Health

What is the problem?

Preventive health screening has long been recognized as a cornerstone of effective healthcare, enabling early detection and treatment, enhancing quality of life, and reducing the risk of premature mortality. The Women’s Preventive Services Guidelines, supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), are designed to advance women’s health across the lifespan by outlining essential preventive services and evidence-based screening recommendations for clinical practice. As screening guidelines in women’s healthcare continue to evolve, including those for mammography and cervical cancer, physicians must remain current and adhere to the latest evidence-based recommendations to ensure optimal preventive care.

Proposed Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this activity, the learners will be able to:

1. Provide current cervical cancer screening guidelines
2. Evaluate the evidence to identify an effective ovarian cancer screening strategy
3. Discuss the approach to breast cancer screening in low and high-risk populations
