Solis Mammography Grand Rounds (October 12, 2026)

Needs Statement

Learners require education that enhances their awareness of emerging evidence, strengthens clinical decision-making, and supports the application of evidence-based practices in women's health. Educational needs include improving recognition of the relationship between breast arterial calcifications and cardiovascular disease risk; current approaches to bone density and body composition assessment; the appropriate use of genetic testing and counseling pathways; evidence-based applications of artificial intelligence in clinical practice; and contemporary strategies for identifying and managing menopause-related symptoms and long-term health effects.

Learners also need greater proficiency in interpreting diagnostic findings, communicating risks and recommendations to patients and referring providers, integrating new technologies into clinical workflows, and implementing evidence-based screening, referral, and management strategies. By addressing these needs, this series seeks to promote more consistent application of best practices, strengthen care coordination, support earlier intervention for at-risk patients, and improve patient-centered outcomes across the continuum of women's healthcare.

Disclosure Policy

Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education (CME) for physicians. BCM is committed to sponsoring CE activities that are scientifically based, accurate, current, and objectively presented.

In accordance with the ACCME Standards for Commercial Support, BCM has implemented a mechanism requiring everyone in a position to control the content of an educational activity (i.e., directors, planning committee members, faculty) to disclose any relevant financial relationships with commercial interests (drug/device companies) and manage/resolve any conflicts of interest prior to the activity. Individuals must disclose to participants the existence or non-existence of financial relationships at the time of the activity or within 24 months prior.

In addition, BCM has requested activity faculty/presenters to disclose to participants any unlabeled use or investigational use of pharmaceutical/device products; to use scientific or generic names (not trade names) in referring to products; and, if necessary to use a trade name, to use the names of similar products or those within a class. Faculty/presenters have also been requested to adhere to the ACCME's validation of clinical content statements.

BCM does not view the existence of financial relationships with commercial interests as implying bias or decreasing the value of a presentation. It is up to participants to determine whether the relationships influence the activity faculty with regard to exposition or conclusions. If at any time during this activity you feel that there has been commercial/promotional bias, notify the Activity Director or Activity Coordinator. Please answer the questions about balance and objectivity in the activity evaluation candidly.

All of the relevant financial relationships listed for these individuals have been mitigated.
