  *   Exploring Pelvic Pain: Through A Team-Based Approach
Dates: Jan. 29th-Feb. 1st from 10am-12pm
Location: Bldg. E19-202
Description: Pelvic pain is a broad term used to describe discomfort in the pelvic region that lasts for at least six months or more. It can be caused by pelvic floor dysfunction, diseases such as endometriosis and adenomyosis. Throughout the week-long course, we will examine addressing pelvic pain from the perspectives of a surgeon, an OBGYN physician, a nurse practitioner, an anesthesiologist, and more. This non-credit course is great for anyone interested in learning about pelvic pain or anyone looking to become a health professional in the future.
