This will be the first presentation in Hologic’s webinar series, Preterm Labor: Current Advances and Evolving Research.

In this program, Dr. Michael Ruma will cover the management of pregnant patients with symptoms of preterm labor during the COVID-19 pandemic. He will highlight the tools available and how physicians can effectively use them to assess a patient’s risk of delivering preterm. This program will also cover the importance of screening for STIs, which are associated with an increased risk of preterm birth.
