Education

​With the goal of empowering more informed patients, care providers, and decision makers in the health care sector, we serve as an educational resource on uterine fibroids for all stakeholders. This will entail acting as a clearinghouse of evidence-based information on uterine fibroids, publishing new reports and findings, and convening scholars and respected voices in the field.
