Apply practical hormone therapy and related prescribing principles in case-based clinical scenarios, including formulation and dose selection, monitoring, contraindication/risk assessment, and management of common challenges such as breakthrough bleeding, transitions from contraception, and treatment in patients with comorbidities or special risk considerations.
Use validated clinical tools, algorithms, and patient-facing resources to support risk assessment, prevention, symptom management, and implementation of evidence-based care in menopause and perimenopause.
