Health care providers face the challenge of not only improving health outcomes but also addressing deep-rooted inequalities that affect women’s wellness. This course is designed to give obstetric and gynecologic nurses the knowledge, skills, and practical tools needed to guide AFAB patients in making informed choices about their health. By focusing on education, preventive care, and tailored support, you’ll learn how to enhance patient trust and build healthier communities.

Understanding social determinants of health (SDOH) is vital for improving long-term outcomes. The course unpacks how factors such as environment, work, and access to resources shape the health of AFAB individuals. You’ll explore the most pressing risks and leading causes of death, along with the preventive screenings and clinical assessments that can make a measurable difference. By mastering evidence-based screening tools, you’ll be better equipped to identify concerns early and empower your patients with actionable health solutions.

Reproductive health is a cornerstone of lifelong care for AFAB individuals. This program covers the entire spectrum, from sexual development and physiologic changes to reproductive stages, fertility awareness, and preconception planning. You’ll gain insights into managing menopause, guiding family planning, and supporting overall well-being through self-care strategies. With clear, practical instruction, this course helps you deliver the highest standard of care, ensuring your patients feel supported, informed, and empowered in every phase of their health journey.
