Courses are open to a wide range of professionals, including physicians, advanced practitioners, nurses, and allied health professionals.
The Office on Women’s Health (OWH), established by Congress and authorized through the Affordable Care Act, leads national efforts to advance the health and well-being of women and girls. As a coordinating body within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), OWH provides expert guidance, fosters research, and supports education and service delivery across the health care system.
To help equip health care providers with the tools they need to provide high-quality, evidence-based care, OWH is now offering free, evidence-based CME/CE courses to support physicians, advanced practitioners, nurses, and allied health professionals. These educational activities include topics from reproductive aging to infectious disease and cancer prevention.
In addition to new and ongoing CME/CE offerings, OWH provides recordings of past activities that offer CME/CE credit. This effort reflects OWH's commitment to supporting the continuing professional development of health care providers and ultimately improving the health outcomes of women and girls.
