Through this conference, The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Leadership Program in Women's Health Policy will offer 30 of its fellows a chance to hear about and discuss topical issues to help shape their roles as future leaders in women's health policy. In order to actively direct women's health care in the United States, physicians need to understand the process and how to most effectively garner the resources to influence policy. The keynote speaker for the event is Dr. Diana Pettiti, director of research and evaluation for the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program in Southern California. Her talk is free and open to the public. While participation in the main program is restricted to invited fellows and guests, proceedings from the week's events will be published on a web site.
Presenters also are available to answer questions related to their sessions.
Additional support is provided by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
