The USC School of Medicine Greenville is hosting its inaugural Day of the Woman Conference on Saturday, Feb. 3, and you’re invited.

This year’s educational and entertaining event is about “Women Winning at Health,” focusing on busting myths surrounding popular health and wellness topics.

Keep reading for a preview of the agenda, happening from 9 a.m.-2:30 p.m. at the medical school.

  • Dean Marjorie Jenkins will speak on “Disadvantages and Dangers of One-Size-Fits-All Medicine” during the inaugural Ruth Wilson Nicholson Keynote Speech, supported by the Sargent Foundation.
  • Engaging speakers, clinicians, and book authors will lead sessions about optimal health and wellness for women, and how the “one-size-fits-all” model of healthcare disproportionately impacts women and girls.
  • During the health resources fair, participants will enjoy a catered lunch and connect with local vendors in the Rotunda.

This event is open to the public, but tickets are limited.
