Women’s Hormonal Health at Every Life Stage: A Multidisciplinary and Personalized Approach to Primary Care

June 19, 2025, 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM EST

This CFPC-accredited, 60-minute webinar invites Canadian healthcare providers to explore the far-reaching impact of hormonal changes on women’s health—from puberty through menopause. Hormones influence nearly every aspect of a woman’s well-being, including reproductive health, skin, and mood. Designed for primary care providers, this session features expert perspectives from gynecology, dermatology, and mental health to offer practical, multidisciplinary insights. Real-world case studies and panel discussions will provide actionable strategies to help providers deliver personalized, whole-person care.

Hormonal changes are not isolated events—they ripple through multiple body systems, affecting everything from menstrual health and fertility to acne, mood disorders, and cognitive function. As the first point of contact for many women, primary care providers are uniquely positioned to identify and address these changes early. Doing so effectively requires a nuanced, interdisciplinary approach. This webinar equips providers with the tools and confidence to recognize key hormonal shifts, address common dermatological and psychological symptoms, and implement patient-centered care across the lifespan.

Why It Matters
Hormonal changes are more than biological events—they affect mood, cognition, skin, and reproductive health. Yet, for many women, these shifts remain misunderstood or under-addressed in clinical care. Primary care providers have a unique opportunity to intervene early, provide reassurance, and tailor treatment plans. This webinar supports those efforts by bridging science with practical, real-world strategies—empowering clinicians to deliver personalized, multidisciplinary care throughout a woman’s life.

Learning Objectives

  1. Recognize hormonal changes at different life stages
  2. Describe the physiological mechanisms underlying hormonal changes at different life stages and their clinical implications
  3. Manage dermatological manifestations of hormonal changes at different life stages 
  4. Manage the mental health impacts of hormonal changes across life stages
  5. Apply a multidisciplinary and patient-centered approach to support women’s well-being across the lifespan
