The objective of the webinar is to analyze the gender biases that weigh on health research, both for not including the gender variable in the research work, also taking into account the living and working conditions, and the environment, in the health of women and men. Specify the differential morbidity that health professionals should take into account in health care, both because they do not take into account the differences, and the similarity between diagnoses of women and men. Finally, analyze gender biases in the evaluation of laboratory data.

Prior registration is essential to attend.
