This approach ensures a consistent\, individualized plan that encompasses the evaluation and management of menopausal symptoms and elevated risk for common comorbidities such as CVD\, osteoporosis. \nOverview:\nThe experience of menopause differs significantly from patient to patient\, yet many physicians do not have sufficient training to adequately manage menopausal symptoms. Couple that with bias and trauma\, which are associated with more severe menopause symptoms\, and it becomes a health disparity issue. \nThis CME course introduces the concept of creating a dedicated appointment for every patient with menopause to establish an individualized plan. Implementing the AMWA Check In On Menopause approach will ensure that time is devoted to the often troublesome but overlooked symptoms\, and the need to consider elevated risk for certain chronic diseases\, such as cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis\, as well as including considerations of any social determinants of health. \nThe ultimate goal is to improve healthcare by establishing a patient-centered treatment plan that ensures regular\, targeted follow-up care to monitor health outcomes and make adjustments to treatment throughout menopause. \nFaculty:\n\n\nJuliana (Jewel) Kling\, MD\, MPH\, MSCP\, FACP\nProfessor of Medicine\, Suzanne Hanson Poole Dean\, and Chair of Women’s Health/Internal Medicine\nMayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine – Arizona Campus \n\n\nJaya M.

Just getting into college and paying my way was enough to worry about! But\, I found I loved science and found medicine and am grateful for the support I had along the way. Though I put myself through school\, I can never say that I did this on my own. I had a family that supported me\, women’s groups and others that provided scholarship funding\, and colleagues that helped push me along when the going got tough. The summer programs during college were essential to learning more about the path to medicine\, and the student clubs and organizations gave me leadership skills and foraged the path to medical school. Luckily\, I never gave much thought to the naysayers who said “your kind don’t do that” or\, “You can’t be a mother and a doctor.” I graduated from Cal State Long Beach and then went on to medical school at Weill College of Medicine at Cornell in New York City. \nMet my now husband in medical school\, matched together and completed residency at University Hospitals of Cleveland in Internal Medicine. Found that primary care general medicine was a great fit and for many years did both inpatient and outpatient medicine. We are both successful in our careers\, have three fabulous adult children\, and two grandchildren. We have been told we are a “Power Couple” and we agree. Our power lies in our passion to improve the lives of others and our sincere desire to empower women and all to reach their potential. I have been on an academic teaching faculty since completing residency and teaching the physicians of tomorrow is challenging and rewarding. To get up every day\, excited about the possibilities that lay ahead and be happy to come home at the end of the day…what is better than that? \nLearn More About Dr. Rohr-Kirchgraber URL:https://amwa-doc.org/event/workshop-transition-trainee-to-faculty/ CATEGORIES:Physicians,Residents END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241211T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241211T200000 DTSTAMP:20260616T045751 CREATED:20251029T213907Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251029T213907Z UID:15667-1733943600-1733947200@amwa-doc.org SUMMARY:AMWA 110 Abstract Revision Workshop DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, December 11th\n7 pm ET\nAbstract Revision Workshop\nNeed to fine tune your abstract for the AMWA Annual Meeting / Women in Healthcare World Congress?
