Significant racial health disparities exist in the research and treatment of menopause in Black and indigenous populations and people of color (BIPOC). The overall goal of this project is to educate obstetrician-gynecologists (ob-gyns) and other women’s healthcare providers in New York State and beyond about the menopausal transition and experience in BIPOC populations.  ACOG District II is pleased to offer free online courses dedicated to equity in obstetrics and gynecology and respectful care.
