Interdisciplinary Activities

Women with Disabilities (WWD) Education Program
The WWD Education Program, administered by APGO, provides continuing medical education to inform, expand, update and illustrate state-of-the-art health care services for women with disabilities.

Two parallel educational series are being developed - one for health care professionals and one for women with disabilities - to improve the way health care is provided for women with disabilities and to provide self-management tools for patients. It is intended that the materials be utilized across disciplines.

Two educational modules in the series are now available: Introduction to Women with Disabilities and Communication. Each offers PowerPoint slides and discussion questions. A module on Breast Care is underway and other important topics are planned.
