Breaking Barriers: Promoting Inclusive Mammography

This activity, hosted by World Class CME, is designed to bring awareness to radiologists, mammography technologists and administrators about mammography screening compliance gaps and possible causes of the lack of compliance. At the completion of the course the participant will be able to:

Discuss the broader significance of diversity and inclusion in mammography, provide an overview of current mammography services and how they cater to diverse populations, understand statistics and studies that show disparities in mammography access and outcomes among different demographic groups, identify common barriers that populations face in accessing mammography services and discuss solutions and strategies to overcome these barriers, discuss best practices to overcome barriers in mammography, explore current and future innovations in mammography that could enhance diversity and inclusion, addressing gaps and improving care for all populations.
