The menopause primer has been designed to provide the foundational building blocks of basic menopause education that has not been well taught for over 20 years. As many medical schools and residency programs don’t spend much time on menopause education, the primer offers the opportunity to build a baseline level of knowledge.
It is suitable for nurse practitioners, pharmacists, medical trainees, and practicing medical clinicians who feel that they would like to “dip their toes” into the field of menopause. The six brief presentations will concisely offer practical knowledge and clinical tips that will allow participants to begin providing evidence based menopause care.
It may also be considered as a “refresher course” for those already familiar with the topic.
Cours d’initiation à la ménopause
Le programme sur la ménopause a été conçu pour garantir que les principes de base en éducation sur la ménopause soient diffusés. L’enseignement sur cette période importante de la femme a été négligé depuis plus de 20 ans. Comme de nombreuses facultés de médecine et programmes de résidence ne consacrent pas beaucoup de temps à l’éducation sur la ménopause, ce cours de base offre la possibilité d’acquérir un niveau de connaissances suffisant pour répondre à la majorité des questions cliniques liées aux soins des femmes en péri et post-ménopause
Ce cours convient aux infirmières praticiennes, aux pharmaciens, aux stagiaires en médecine et aux cliniciens en exercice qui souhaitent acquérir des connaissances suffisantes dans le domaine de la ménopause. Les six présentations offriront de manière concise des connaissances pratiques et des conseils cliniques qui permettront aux participants de débuter leur pratique fondée sur des données probantes. Il peut également être considéré comme un « cours de remise à niveau » et améliorera la compréhension des sujets présentés.
