Nanette Santoro, MD, and Lauren Streicher, MD, MSCP, briefly highlight why they feel the annual Menopause Society is a great place for learning and collaboration.

The Menopause Society annual meeting is underway from Chicago, Illinois, taking place through September 14, 2024. In the video above, speakers Nanette Santoro, MD, and Lauren Streicher, MD, MSCP, explain why the meeting is such a big one for the space.

"I really value The Menopause Society it is very practice based. It's very practical," said Santoro, professor and E Stewart Taylor Chair of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. "It appeals to clinicians, and we badly need clinicians who are practicing modern, evidence based menopausal medicine."

Streicher, a clinical professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, Illinois, added the meeting is crucial for teaching, as there are several informational, practical sessions for her colleagues, who may not have received specified menopausal training.

"This [meeting] is extraordinarily important because what we now appreciate, is that at best, 20% of ob-gyns get any training in menopause, and that training may be nothing more than reading an article or maybe going to 1 lecture. And that's the ob-gyns," Streicher said. "So what that tells you is that other specialties get even less training, even though 100% of women will enter menopause, and menopause is going to impact on their other medical illnesses."
