Description:
Transform your approach to menopause care with the latest evidence and expert insights you can use tomorrow. Learn how to move beyond outdated WHI-era fears and confidently prescribe individualized, effective hormonal therapies. We’re joined by urologist and sexual medicine specialist Dr. Rachel Rubin, who brings clarity, practicality, and a fresh perspective to this rapidly evolving field.

Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, you will be able to:

  • Differentiate the current evidence regarding the safety and risks of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) from outdated beliefs rooted in earlier studies and media interpretations.
  • Apply principles from the 2022 North American Menopause Society (NAMS) statement and other contemporary guidelines to counsel patients considering initiation or continuation of MHT beyond the early postmenopausal period.
  • Formulate an individualized, evidence-based approach to menopause care that integrates patient preferences, comorbidities, and symptom burden to optimize quality of life and minimize risk.
