Harvard Women’s Health and Menopause 2025 — hormone therapy prescribing, midlife medicine and sexual health in one week
Harvard Women’s Health and Menopause 2025 captures the five-day Harvard Medical School conference held from 24 to 28 March 2025, where 37 faculty from Harvard-affiliated hospitals and invited guests made the case for treating midlife women as whole patients. A full afternoon with Heather Hirsch on prescribing hormone therapy, from perimenopause to high-risk patients and dose adjustment, anchors a programme that also reaches cardiology, bone, brain, sleep, oncology, dermatology and sexual medicine. There are 47 sessions in total, six of them bonus Study Hall talks.
