Program Description
This educational activity is designed to provide a focused overview of the clinical presentation and differential diagnosis of patients with von Willebrand disease from those patients with heavy menstrual bleeding, as well as the management of hemophilia patients in an adolescent medicine care setting. The goal of this live activity is to educate and provide a forum to address the most important challenges and advances in our understanding of bleeding disorders in adolescents, providing participants with the opportunity to become familiar with the clinical manifestations and management of these disorders. Learners will be provided with strategies and resources that can immediately be placed into clinical practice with a goal of improving the long-term outcomes of their young patients with these disorders.
