The Annual Women’s Health Conference is a CME accredited program through MCW, ACOG and AAFP. The Women’s Health Conference, held by the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, gives you information on current women’s health.
As the academic presence in Women’s Health in the Milwaukee area, we feel it is important for us to provide this educational opportunity to providers in the community and the region.
This activity is intended for practitioners in OB/GYN and in primary care who provide care for women, including:
Obstetricians / Gynecologists
Internists
Family Practitioners
Nurse Practitioners
Physician Assistants
Certified Nurse Midwives
Registered Nurses
Medical Learners
24th Annual Conference - Friday, April 11, 2025
GUEST SPEAKER:
Shannon Panszi, MD
Founder of Engender Love
Gender Educator
Retired Physician
"Discussing Sexual Health for All Bodies"

For over a decade, retired Ob/Gyn Dr. Panszi has dedicated her career to advancing patient care as a consultant specializing in gender competency in medical education and practice. She delivers high-impact talks at major teaching hospitals nationwide, bridging the gap between emerging gender medicine research and clinical practice with actionable strategies that benefit all patients. Drawing from her advocacy with transgender and nonbinary people and their families, as well as her medical background, she offers a unique perspective that brings forward insights often overlooked in healthcare. She continues to contribute her gender expertise to both PCORI-funded research and hospital consulting committees to improve patient care and communication. Dr. Panszi also hosts Gender Matters: Insights from a Physician, a podcast that equips providers with evidence-based insights to become trusted resources for their patients on gender-related topics.
