DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The focus of this tissue oriented conference is to answer pivotal questions regarding the higher incidence and characteristics of uterine leiomyomas in African American Women (AAW). The conference will feature scientific presentations that address the current state of knowledge and identify emerging issues regarding leiomyomas in the AAW and serve as a catalyst for discussion during the final session on "New Course for Future Research and Directions". Newer, promising and innovative research that will continue to build upon and enhance our understanding of the basic pathophysiology of uterine leiomyoma will be discussed. Innovations in treatment modalities with an emphasis on impact to the female reproductive tract, reproductive potential and quality of life will be presented. The target audience includes researchers working in the fields of biomedicine, epidemiology basic, clinical and translational science, therapeutics, academic medicine, government, industry; physicians, nurses, other healthcare workers and the lay community. All participants will be invited to present posters and special area will be assigned for poster presentation. The Conference proceedings will be edited by the editorial committee to prepare for publication in a peer reviewed journal and the entire contents will be posted on the Howard University Web Site. Accreditation Statement: The activity will be planned and implemented with essential areas and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education through the Howard University College of Medicine Credit Designation Statement. Howard University College of Medicine will designate this educational activity for a maximum of 8 credits AMA Category 1 Credits. Physicians will only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. . PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The overarching goals of this conference are to discuss multidisciplinary aspects of the molecular basis of leiomyomas and treatment modalities with an eye toward addressing the pivotal question of why leiomyomas are more common in the African- American population; and to formulate future projects to minimize symptoms associated with and improve the quality of life for patients with leiomyomata. A major objective of the conference will be to foster ongoing communication and collaborations among investigators within our immediate research community, extramural scientific community, community physicians, and the lay population. The primary emphasis of the conference will be dissemination of basic, clinical and translational research data.

描述（由申请人提供）：这次组织导向会议的重点是回答关于非洲裔美国妇女（AAW）子宫平滑肌瘤的高发病率和特征的关键问题。会议将以科学报告为特色，阐述当前的知识状况，并确定AAW中有关平滑肌瘤的新问题，并在最后一次会议上作为“未来研究和方向的新课程”讨论的催化剂。 更新，有前途的和创新的研究，将继续建立和提高我们对子宫肌瘤的基本病理生理学的理解将被讨论。将介绍治疗方式的创新，重点是对女性生殖道、生殖潜力和生活质量的影响。目标受众包括在生物医学，流行病学基础，临床和转化科学，治疗学，学术医学，政府，工业领域工作的研究人员;医生，护士，其他医疗工作者和非专业社区。所有参加者将被邀请展示海报，并将被指定为海报展示的特别区域。会议记录将由编辑委员会编辑，准备在同行评审的期刊上发表，全部内容将在霍华德大学网站上公布。认证声明：该活动将通过霍华德大学医学院学分指定声明，与继续医学教育认证理事会的基本领域和政策一起规划和实施。霍华德大学医学院将指定这项教育活动最多8学分AMA第1类学分。医生只会要求与他们参与活动的程度相称的信贷。. 公共卫生相关性：本次会议的总体目标是讨论平滑肌瘤的分子基础和治疗方式的多学科方面，着眼于解决为什么平滑肌瘤在非洲裔美国人中更常见的关键问题;并制定未来的项目，以尽量减少与平滑肌瘤相关的症状，提高平滑肌瘤患者的生活质量。会议的一个主要目标将是促进我们的直接研究社区，校外科学界，社区医生和非专业人群之间的持续沟通和合作。会议的主要重点将是基础，临床和转化研究数据的传播。
