SUMMER COURSE ON ENDOMETRIOSIS – MORE SEATS NOW AVAILABLE
Due to popular demand, additional space has been made available to accommodate more students at both the Stanford & UCSF campuses for the previously ‘sold out’ Endometriosis Course & Global Health Fellows Program, an initiative of the Worldwide EndoMarch and Nezhat Family Foundation. The Course is free of charge and open to the general public and all majors.
With today’s global shortage of endometriosis specialists, this initiative to bring endometriosis courses to college campuses will help solve one of the most urgent unmet needs of the endometriosis community, by encouraging the next generation to become Global Health Fellows (Ambassadors) to help those suffering from one of the world’s most complex and painful chronic diseases on record.
Students will get a unique opportunity to study under many internationally-recognized Professors, including with Professor Camran Nezhat, M.D., EndoMarch Founder, inventor of video laparoscopy, and the world’s leading expert on endometriosis.
