Physicians will receive four hours of online training at their own pace and four hours of live, interactive training. The live training will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in St. Louis, Missouri, or the live training may be attended remotely by streaming it to a device, on the four dates below:
September 13, 2019*

Dates marked with an asterisk feature curriculum designed for women’s health providers in partnership with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).

There is no cost to participate in the training.
