Speaking
Most clinicians were taught almost nothing about menopause. I fix that in ninety minutes.
I speak to two rooms. Clinicians who need to prescribe with confidence and have never been given the evidence, and employers who are quietly losing experienced women in their forties and fifties and cannot work out why.
What the last audience said
Guiding Women Through Mid-Life: Evidence-Based Management of Perimenopause and Menopause in Primary Care
2026 AANP National Conference, Las Vegas. Co-presented with Randee Masciola, DNP, APRN-CNP.
Overall session rating was collected on a 5-point scale. The three agreement items used a 4-point scale where 4 is strongly agree. Bars show each score as a share of its own maximum so the two scales can be read side by side.
