within the past year. Some of the guidelines this activity will
address include: new guidelines for the therapy of hypertension
to better prevent cardiovascular disease in women; diagnosis
of headache type; anxiety and identifying the patient
with addiction; and new information about osteoporosis
management. New FDA regulations will direct how providers
order opiod therapy. Providers of care need knowledge of
these changes to fulfill the practice guidelines in caring for their

incorporated in this conference to address gaps in knowledge
and competence for the improved care of women.
