Abnormal Uterine Bleeding Workshop for Nurse Practitioners

A clear, evidence-based framework for evaluating and managing abnormal uterine bleeding—without unnecessary referrals or guesswork.

Confidently Manage Abnormal Uterine Bleeding in Real-World Primary Care

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is one of the most common and complex gynecologic complaints in primary care—and one of the most challenging for nurse practitioners to evaluate confidently. For many nurse practitioners, it lives in a clinical gray zone: When should you order imaging? Which labs actually help? And when is referral truly indicated?

Because AUB ranges from benign, self-limited causes to serious underlying pathology, a structured and evidence-based approach is essential in primary care. Without it, clinicians risk either missing concerning diagnoses or over-referring patients who could be safely managed in-house.

This on-demand workshop provides a clear, evidence-based framework for approaching abnormal uterine bleeding in real-world primary care settings. You’ll learn how to evaluate bleeding patterns, identify red flags, and make appropriate workup and management decisions with confidence.

The content is based on current FIGO and ACOG recommendations, adapted specifically for primary care practice—not specialty or inpatient settings.

What You’ll Learn in This AUB Workshop:

  • Approach abnormal uterine bleeding step by step—from initial presentation through follow-up

  • Identify red flags that require urgent evaluation or referral

  • Select labs and imaging that meaningfully guide diagnosis (and avoid unnecessary testing)

  • Differentiate common etiologies of AUB across age groups and reproductive stages

What Makes This AUB Workshop Different

This workshop is built for nurse practitioners practicing at the intersection of gynecology and primary care, where guidelines exist—but real-world decisions aren’t always clear.

Most AUB education is designed for specialty settings. This workshop is specifically designed for nurse practitioners in primary care, focusing on evidence-based assessment and practical decision-making that you can apply immediately in real-world visits.

You’ll learn a clear, structured approach to evaluating bleeding patterns, identifying key red flags, selecting appropriate labs and imaging, and determining when referral or further evaluation is indicated. The content aligns with current guidelines, emphasizes patient-centered and trauma-informed care, and supports safer, more efficient clinical practice—without unnecessary complexity or fluff.

This activity is designed to help you feel more prepared, more organized, and more confident managing AUB within the NP scope of practice.

Who This AUB Workshop is For:

Perfect for:

  • New grad NPs who are still building their gynecologic assessment and diagnostic skills.

  • Experienced NPs who want a concise, evidence-based refresher on current FIGO and ACOG recommendations.

  • Busy clinicians who need structured, repeatable frameworks for clinical reasoning

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a common gynecologic condition evaluated in primary care and frequently managed by nurse practitioners. In outpatient settings, the evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding involves assessment of bleeding patterns, patient age, reproductive status, and risk factors for structural, hormonal, or systemic causes. Evidence-based guidelines from organizations such as FIGO and ACOG recommend a structured approach to abnormal uterine bleeding that includes targeted laboratory testing, appropriate imaging, identification of red flags, and timely referral when indicated.

For nurse practitioners in primary care, clinical decision-making around abnormal uterine bleeding requires balancing guideline-based evaluation with scope of practice, patient context, and longitudinal management considerations. Ongoing education in abnormal uterine bleeding supports accurate diagnosis, appropriate workup, safe referral decisions, and improved patient outcomes in real-world primary care practice.
