Midlife Women's Health 2022: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Care
Midlife Women’s Health 2022 provides a multi-disciplinary approach to the care of menopausal women. In this course, a multidisciplinary group of experts from Massachusetts General Hospital will present on migraine, perimenopause, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, bariatric surgery, emotional intelligence, hyperlipidemia, mindfulness, menopausal hormone therapy and more.
Description
Midlife Women’s Health 2022 provides a multidisciplinary approach to the care of menopausal women. Advances in research, technology and pharmacology increase options available for midlife women, but this rapidly changing knowledge-base presents a challenge for clinicians. Care for women at this stage of life is optimized by education on a range of medical concerns provided by experts from a wide variety of medical specialties. Given demographic changes in the U.S. population, midlife women are becoming an increasingly important group served by health care providers, with needs that cross many areas of medical expertise.
Target Audience
This educational activity is designed for physicians and advance practice nurses in general medicine, gynecology, surgery and related subspecialties. Physicians and advance practice nurses in-training also are encouraged to attend.
The entire course will be available electronically to conference registrants for 30 days after the meeting.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Integrate bariatric surgery into the available management options for midlife obesity
- Formulate a strategy to treat migraine at menopause safely and effectively
- Evaluate and treat hair loss in older women using a range of effective interventions

- Recognize, assess and address unique risk factors for hyperlipidemia in aging women to optimize management
- Provide perimenopausal women with education and strategies to enhance the transition to menopause
