This presentation is designed to equip PAs with the latest insights and strategies for managing perimenopause and menopause effectively. The session will cover the physiological changes associated with menopause, common symptoms, and the overall impact on women’s health. Attendees will learn about evidence-based treatments, including hormone therapy, non-hormonal options, and lifestyle interventions, with a focus on personalized care. The session will also address the importance of patient education and support, ensuring that clinicians are prepared to guide their patients through this critical life stage with confidence and expertise.
