Episode Details

Why This Conference Matters: Women reaching the average age of menopause(51) today were barely in their 30s when the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) findings shook the medical world in 2002. At that time, perimenopause was rarely discussed, and menopause care was not a priority in medical education. Fast forward to 2025, and the landscape of women’s health remains challenging. Medical school and residency programs often lack comprehensive training in midlife women’s health, leaving many practitioners unprepared to address the complex needs of perimenopausal and menopausal patients. The World Class CME Survival Skills for Women’s Health conference bridges this gap, offering a robust curriculum packed with evidence-based insights and actionable strategies.

This conference is a must-attend for healthcare providers who want to enhance their ability to care for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. From genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) to breast cancer screening, bone health, and cardiovascular risk management, the program covers a wide array of topics critical to midlife women’s health. Attendees will leave with practical knowledge they can immediately implement in their practices, ensuring better outcomes for their patients.

A Comprehensive Curriculum Led by Experts: The conference features a diverse faculty of renowned experts from fields such as gynecology, internal medicine, psychiatry, physical therapy, nursing, and audiology. This multidisciplinary approach ensures a holistic perspective on women’s health, addressing both physical and mental health challenges faced by midlife women. The sessions are designed to be engaging, informative, and packed with practical tips and pearls that clinicians can apply in their daily practice.
