The Midlife Transition RX Hormone Replacement Therapy and Specialty Considerations for Providers and Clinicians in Women's Health and Female Readiness- Session 1

January 29, 2026

This course enhances clinicians’ ability to deliver consistent, evidence-based care for perimenopause and menopause within the Military Health System. Persistent gaps in diagnostic accuracy, counseling, quality, and therapeutic decision-making contribute to fragmented care and reduced readiness. This activity equips providers and clinicians with current guidelines, risk-benefit frameworks, and practical decision pathways for hormone and non-hormonal therapies. Using case-based learning and interprofessional collaboration, participants refine clinical reasoning, strengthen communication skills, and improve management of complex midlife presentations. The course advances safe, timely and patient-centered perimenopause/ and menopause care aligned with Defense Health Agency (DHA) standards and operational performance requirements.

Target Audience

This activity provides continuing education for physicians, physician associates/physician assistants, nurses, pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, social workers, psychologists, occupational therapists, occupational therapy assistants, certified counselors, physical therapists, and physical therapist assistants. A certificate of attendance is available for other attendees.

  5. Explain the effects of perimenopause and menopause on the genitourinary tissue and how to recognize this during an exam.

  7. Explain the role of estrogen in bone homeostasis.
