Women with disabilities focus of web resource
Does your practice include reproductive health care of women with physical, developmental, or sensory disabilities? The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) offers a freely downloadable slide program, "Reproductive Health Care for Women with Disabilities," to assist women's health care clinicians in this arena.
Now available are the first two parts of the six-part series, which cover the scope of disability in women, sexuality, psychosocial issues, the gynecologic examination, and the gynecologic health screening. The program was recorded by Raymond Cox Jr., MD, MBA, chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at St. Agnes Hospital in Baltimore, and Caroline Signore, MD, MPH, postdoctoral fellow in the Division of Epidemiology, Statistics, and Prevention Research at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD. Elisabeth Quint, MD, clinical associate professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at University of Michigan in Ann Arbor served as faculty chair.
