Menopause Matters

Course overview

A Practical Approach to Supporting Women Through Midlife All proceeds go to support the FSOMA Forward Fund to advocate for the profession. The menopausal transition presents a wide range of clinical challenges that call for clear pattern differentiation and a thoughtful, integrative approach to care. This class is designed to support acupuncturists in strengthening their clinical understanding of menopause through both Traditional Chinese Medicine and biomedical perspectives. Participants will explore the physiological changes that underpin menopause alongside the common patterns encountered in practice, with a focus on applying this knowledge in a clear and practical way. Emphasis will be placed on bridging theory and clinical application, supporting practitioners in making confident treatment decisions when working with varied and often overlapping presentations. The session will also highlight the importance of patient communication and ongoing support, enabling practitioners to guide women through this transition with clarity, confidence, and clinical precision.
