ENDOMETRIOSIS FELLOWSHIP & COURSE
ENDOMETRIOSIS FELLOWSHIP & COURSE FOR PRE-MED UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
Worldwide EndoMarch and the Nezhat Family Foundation are pleased to announce the launch of the first ever Endometriosis Fellowship & Course for pre-med and public health undergraduates, taking place this July 2018 at two locations: University of California (UCSF), Mission Bay Campus, and Stanford University’s Li Ka Shing Center.
SOLVING THE GLOBAL SHORTAGE OF ENDO SPECIALISTS
With today’s global shortage of endometriosis specialists, the Endometriosis Fellowship & Course will help solve this urgent unmet need, by encouraging young students to specialize in one of the most common, yet least researched and misunderstood chronic diseases of our era.
