Advancing Care for Menopausal Vasomotor Symptoms: Integration of Non-Hormonal Therapies

Advancing Care for Menopausal Vasomotor Symptoms

Vasomotor symptoms (VMS), including hot flashes and night sweats, are among the most common and disruptive symptoms of menopause, significantly affecting patients’ physical health, quality of life, and daily functioning. This three-part educational program is designed to support clinicians in the comprehensive management of VMS, from recognizing the burden of symptoms and initiating patient-centered conversations, to understanding and integrating emerging nonhormonal treatment options into clinical practice.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this continuing education program, participants will be better able to:​

  1. Proactively engage in conversations about vasomotor symptoms (VMS) with patients in routine clinical practice
  2. Discuss current and emerging treatment options for VMS, including hormonal therapies and newer nonhormonal agents
  3. Integrate clinical findings, treatment options, and patient preferences to develop individualized management plans for VMS
