Join Gregory Gardner, MD, MACP, for a session that explores the history of death recording and U.S. death records that document causes of death, including mortality schedules, registries, and death certificates from a physician’s perspective. Participants will learn tips and pitfalls for using these records and how to access them. The session also examines disease to watch for in family history research and how to use family health information to build a family history profile and assess potential health risks.
