Gender-specific medicine is the study of the differences in the normal function of women and men and in their experience of the same diseases. Women and men experience stress as a consequence of quite different events and circumstances. Their neurobiological substrate for processing and reacting to stress is in many respects sex specific as is their response to intervention. This conference will explore these sex- and gender-specific phenomena.

This course is intended for healthcare professionals - both generalists and those who specialize in the treatment of individuals who are experiencing stress - including family practitioners, internists, OB/GYNs, psychiatrists, psychologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and fellows and residents.
