Abstract

Menopause is a universal experience among women and all those seeking gynecologic care, yet most physicians—including obstetrician–gynecologists—report inadequate training on menopause-related care. As a result, people experiencing menopause often navigate the physical, social, and emotional challenges that accompany menopause on their own. The vacuum left by health care professionals in menopause care is increasingly filled by unregulated and potentially harmful recommendations from social media and the wellness industry. Medical educators in medical schools and residency programs must accelerate and amplify efforts in menopause education to ensure that health care professionals are able to meet the needs of patients seeking care for menopause-related concerns.

缩小更年期教育的差距

更年期是女性和所有寻求妇科护理的人的普遍经历，然而大多数医生——包括妇产科医生——报告缺乏与更年期相关的护理培训。因此，经历更年期的人经常独自应对伴随更年期而来的身体、社会和情感挑战。医疗保健专业人员在更年期护理方面留下的真空越来越多地被社交媒体和健康行业不受监管和潜在有害的建议所填补。医学院和住院医师项目的医学教育者必须加快和扩大更年期教育的努力，以确保卫生保健专业人员能够满足患者对更年期相关问题的护理需求。
