  Ultrasound Training Registration (Add-On)

  On Wednesday, July 16th, from 7:00 to 11:00am, APAOG welcomes Ultrasound for Women's Health Providers as they facilitate Introduction to Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS). This will be a hands-on workshop that incorporates scanning of live models. This workshop is separate from the main conference registration fee and is offered at a low cost. Registration is limited (50) so be sure to secure your spot early! 

  
  

  Overview:

  This is an introduction to POCUS in pregnancy. The first trimester training will be focused on confirmatory gestational dating, multiple gestation and ectopic pregnancy. The third trimester training will emphasize placental location, amniotic fluid volume, fetal position and the Biophysical Profile (BPP). After the initial lecture, there will be 3 stations with live models and an instructor to guide you in a brief opportunity to scan, and more time to observe scanning techniques and images as they are ellicited. The instructor is available to guide scanning as well as to answer your questions about POCUS. 

  Meet our Trainers:

  Carolyn L. Gegor, CNM, MS, FACNM has had an extensive career in Ob/Gyn ultrasound. Carolyn is an instructor and owner at Ultrasound for Women’s Health Providers. Carolyn began her career in ultrasound as an RN in 1972. She learned ultrasound from a physician on-the-job as no courses were available that early in the development of ultrasound as a diagnostic test. Carolyn was one of the founders of the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers (ARDMS) and obtained her RDMS in 1973. She established American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) in Washington, DC and Maryland. For several years she worked full time in ultrasound then went back to her love of labor & birth while continuing to teach ultrasound skills in obstetrics and gynecology. Once she became a CNM Carolyn was very active teaching nurses and midwives to do the Biophysical Profile. She was the Clinical Director of Fetal Assessment at the Johns Hopkins University Hospital while practicing full scope midwifery. After retiring, Ms. Gegor created Ultrasound for Midwives, now Ultrasound for Women’s Health Providers to be able to offer highly sought-after hands-on scanning and the necessary background knowledge for doing OB/Gyn Point of Care ultrasound.

  Kristen Ostrem-Niemcewicz, DNP, RN, CNM, FNP-BC, FACNM is an Associate Clinical Professor and Associate Dean of Graduate Programs at the Oregon Health and Science University, School of Nursing. Kristen has used ultrasound in clinical practice since 2000 and achieved the ARDMS Midwife Sonography Certificate in 2015. She provided primary care to patients in California and New Mexico's rural settings from 1997 to 2023 and has a passion for the triage of obstetric emergencies. Kristen is chair of the American College of Nurse-Midwives Ultrasound Education Subcommittee. She is the vice chair of the Midwife Exam Group for the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonographers; she has served as an ACNM representative for the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine, which published an OB Practice Parameter and Training Guidelines for advanced clinical providers in 2018. She has worked with Carolyn Gegor’s Ultrasound for Women’s Health Providers since 2020, teaching hands-on ultrasound image optimization and interpretation of point-of-care studies.

  Colposcopy Training Registration (Add-On)

  On Wednesday, July 16th, from 8:00 to 11:00am, we will once again host a Colposcopy Training to kick off the 2025 Annual Conference. This workshop is separate from the main conference registration fee and is offered at a low cost. Registration is limited (50) so be sure to secure your spot early! 

  Meet our Trainers:

  Breann Garbas, DHSc, MPAS, PA-C, DFAAPA, received her Master’s in PA Studies from the Medical University of South Carolina and her Doctorate in Health Science from Nova Southeastern University.  She practiced in obstetrics and gynecology in Summerville, SC before moving to a rural family medicine focus in Florida where she maintained an emphasis in providing education and care for patients who did not have regular access to ob/gyn care. She has worked to develop her publications and research skills and is most excited to present this colposcopy workshop at APAOG to introduce a technique that will allow decreased patient and provider discomfort while enhancing clinical outcome.

  Shannon Cohen, MPAS, PA-C, is originally from Fort Lauderdale, FL. She attended the University of Florida for both her undergraduate and graduate degrees. She graduated from UF’s School of Physician Assistant Studies in 2020 and started her career on the Burn ICU at UF Health Shands Hospital. Eventually, she transitioned to OBGYN at UF Health where she has thoroughly enjoyed caring for her patients in the outpatient setting. She currently lives in Gainesville, FL with her husband and dog.

  Overview:

  Colposcopy training will give attendees an opportunity to have hands-on practice with varying degrees of cervical lesions utilizing a patented cervical trainer and Gamuard’s GYN ZOE simulation model. Participants will have access to a didactic education pre-workshop to best utilize all conference hours for engaging practice with simulation material. Cervical models are built to allow for the visualization of lesions and for biopsies to be taken with real colposcopic instrumentation. Post-biopsy, trainers will be removed and evaluated for completeness of the biopsy technique. This low-stress, high-output workshop will improve learner technique and decrease patient discomfort.
