Menopause: Majority of Surveyed Gynecologists (69%) Admit to "Never" Having Menopausal "Hormone"Training in OB/GYN Residencies.
Chew on that for a bit....
I’ll get to Halle and the new “ugh” stuff in a bit. But as you can see I was a bit emotional writing this. So exasperating.
Today’s menopausal “is-ness”:
If a doctor, especially a gynecologist, is asked by a patient if they’re a candidate for hormone therapies, but this doc has not been trained in this medicine, that patient is apt to get: The “wrong” answer.
This is what has been happening all over the U.S.
A survey was sent out to doctors as to who actually got any training in hormones regarding women and peri and post menopause. In medical schools/residencies.
Almost none.
Most regular primary docs got no education in menopausal hormones or care.
OB/GYN docs surveyed, demonstrated that only 31.3% reported having a menopause curriculum in their residency program.
This means 69% of OB/GYN doc’s had NO menopausal hormone training.
Who ran this survey?
