• Data to show that gender-specific medicine improves patient outcome
  
• New avenues of communication and collaboration between the members of the faculty and the audience

• An opportunity to join the newly formed Int’l. Association of Gender Medicine

• The foundation of a body of knowledge needed to construct a system of optimal practice of gender-specific medicine
