Description
Our patients in women’s health are struggling with physical symptoms and quality of life because of the complications of menopause – we have designed this CME event to empower providers to assist their patients through this transition. Should we order hormone lab tests? Which ones? What to do about abnormal uterine bleeding? How do we address vasomotor symptoms in someone with risks for cardiovascular disease? These and many other topics surrounding midlife for women including weight gain, most effective exercise strategies, aesthetic and dermatologic topics and genitourinary troubles will be addressed in this dynamic, information-packed day.
