Hemophilia Federation of America to Address Iron Deficiency in Women with Bleeding Disorders

WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, October 8, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Hemophilia Federation of America, a national nonprofit organization serving patients with bleeding disorders, will host the third webinar in a four-part series of webinars for OB/GYNs to educate providers on recognizing bleeding disorders in women, with continuing education credits available for physicians, physicians assistants and nurses.

The Iron Deficiency and Bleeding Disorders webinar, part of the Project ECHO: Recognition and Care of Women with Bleeding Disorders series, is at noon ET on Oct. 28, 2024. Led by Dr. Kristina Haley, director of the Hemophilia Center at the Oregon Health and Science University, the webinar will help non-hematology OB/GYNs recognize the signs and symptoms of iron deficiency, learn which labs to order for the screening of iron deficiency anemia and more.

While this presentation is open to the public, the content is intended for OB/GYNs and will provide one CME credit for physicians, physician assistants, and nurses. The CMEs are free to attend the session and complete the evaluation. Learn more and register at www.hemophiliafed.org/our-events/.
