We will conclude the day with Dr. Susan Reed’s Presidential Symposium, Providing Truth to Menopausal Patients in an Online World of Misinformation and Disinformation, followed by the President’s Cocktail Reception.
There will be dedicated time to visit the commercial exhibits and the opportunity to attend any of the Product Theaters scheduled throughout the meeting.

Menopause 101 Course—Tuesday, September 26—1:00 PM to 5:15 PM
This year’s Menopause 101 course will be led by Course Director Monica Christmas, MD, FACOG, NCMP, and will provide clinicians with a strong foundation in managing all aspects of menopause, from vasomotor symptoms and genitourinary symptoms to sleep, mood disturbances, and sexual function. The year’s course will focus on evidence-based treatment strategies for managing these menopause-related symptoms. Participants will have a better understanding of how and when to prescribe hormone therapy, along with alternate nonhormone options including integrative medicine modalities. An “Ask The Experts” opportunity has also been added to this year’s Menopause 101 course.
Medical Breast and Genetics 101 Course—Tuesday, September 26—1:00 PM to 5:00 PM
New for this year, the program will include a Medical Breast and Genetics 101 course led by Course Director Holly Pederson, MD, NCMP. Women’s healthcare professionals are commonly faced with questions about breast cancer risk estimation, options for average risk screening, supplemental screening in women with dense breast tissue, and high-risk management strategies. It’s therefore important for healthcare professionals to understand the basics of breast cancer genetics and the guidelines for the management of patients with hereditary cancer predisposition and have the confidence to communicate information and recommendations for risk management. This course will reinforce these key points in breast care and will provide a comprehensive, practical approach to addressing breast health, personalized risk assessment, and risk management.
