Could hormone prescribing be any more confusing? Well, hopefully not anymore. This HRT course educates on how to safely, appropriately, and effectively use estrogen and progesterone in a variety of life stages.
Salivary, urine and serum hormone tests are useful. Are they!? If so, when can we rely on these methods to really help us follow a patients progress or change their therapy.
Why are there so many doctors who think hormones are too risky? There are risks that's for sure, but are they deserving of the fear around hormones?
Among other things you can expect to learn dosing, routes of delivery and effective monitoring. This course will also include interviews with experts from the hormone universe to help paint a comprehensive and beautiful picture. Walk away with clear treatment plans that will make you a hormone wizard.
There are 6 webinars part of this course that will be published every 1 to 2 weeks til April. The first webinar published today is HRT 101. The second and third are HRT Risks in early March. HRT prescribing for common conditions follows mid March with an interview with an expert pharmacist in compounding hormones. Finally at the end of March a webinar on the more complicated cases we see in practice.
Hormone wizardry after six weeks? Why yes please.
