CMS is proud to announce our most recent educational offering for healthcare providers who are interested in improving their knowledge and obtaining expert support in menopause management. The Menopause Masterclass consists of 5 monthly VIRTUAL small group learning sessions led by a regional menopause expert. After some didactic review of the evidence, you will have the opportunity to review and discuss cases, bring your questions and develop a community of practice. All attendees must attend all 5 sessions to receive the certificate of completion for CMS Menopause Masterclass 101.
The CMS Masterclass will be a 5-part webinar series held regionally across Canada in four geographic areas: British Columbia, Western/Central Canada, Ontario and Quebec, Eastern & Northern Canada. After a brief review of the evidence, participants will have the chance to discuss cases, ask questions, and build a community of practice. Each region’s class begins in early 2026 and will run into late spring. Exact dates for each region are listed below.
Attendees must attend all five sessions to earn the certificate of completion for CMS Menopause Masterclass 101.
