In this week’s video, I’m interviewing Monica Carter, who is a family nurse practitioner who has practiced in the women’s health setting for the last 13 years. She dropped SO many pearls and pitfalls of practice, and is truly a gem of a human. We answered questions from the community for a women’s health provider, including:
✅ Tips for finding cervixes on pap smears, when to do a pap post-hysterecomy, and how to assess the variable appearances of cervixes on exam
✅ Tips and resources for managing menopausal symptoms, abnormal pap results, choosing contraceptives (such great insights!) and medications in pregnancy
✅ Getting into GYN as a family nurse practitioner
✅ When to refer to maternal fetal medicine
✅ Initial workup for infertility and pearls of practice
Check out the resources she mentioned inside the video here:
