JHSON Virtual Nursing Grand Rounds: Celebrating Women's Health

JHSON Virtual Nursing Grand Rounds: Celebrating Women's Health - Caring for people affected by female genital cutting: Nursing’s power to re-define (and reduce) risk and harm

The Johns Hopkins School of Nursing in partnership with the Johns Hopkins Nurses' Alumni Association, will offer a monthly Virtual Nursing Grand Rounds Continuing Nursing Education Series, providing an educational program led by top researchers from around the world.

In honor of Women’s History Month, in this grand rounds, Dr. Nicole Warren will describe how, when, and why female genital cutting (FGC) is commonly practiced, understand the relevance of FGC to US-based health care providers, and identify the role of primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention in reducing FGC risk and related injury. Attendees will recognize how the quality care of people affected by FGC can be translated to care for other marginalized groups.

The Virtual Nursing Grand Rounds Series will offer attendees one free education credit upon completion of a post-event quiz after each session, with the goal of fulfilling the JHSON’s mission of providing lifelong learning for health care professionals within the community. 

The Virtual Nursing Grand Rounds Series is sponsored by the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing Center for Cardiovascular and Chronic Care, and the Johns Hopkins Nurses' Alumni Association. The Center for Cardiovascular and Chronic Care works to significantly reduce cardiovascular health disparities through community engagement, scientific investigation, education, and policy initiatives. The Johns Hopkins Nurses' Alumni Association builds upon the foundation laid by generations of Hopkins nurses, sponsoring programs, preserving history and connecting alumni.
