There will be two case studies, one general population female and one athletic female, that will be built into the learning each week, focusing on each weeks subject matter as we go. There will be a wrap up in Week 6 plus time to ask questions.

Sessions are recorded and a weekly wrap up is provided shortly after each week via email, along with the recording.

“I loved the depth of 'why' things happen and the science behind menopause”

“How the content was separated into the four components made it more digestible, the length of each session was the perfect amount, Kathy really encouraged questions and group discussion, the quizzes were a great way to assess integration of knowledge.”

“I loved the overall topic and content and particularly in discussions around athletic pop. It was helpful when you explained how to apply clinically or in life. I love the additional resources, articles and your wrap ups. I also found it much easier to understand when I could read the slides as you spoke. Thanks for the time and effort you've put into this Kathy!”

This course has been CONTINUALLY upgraded based on feedback from both the 5 week format and inservice options. The 2026 version of the course is refined, tailored and specific to what clinicians have asked for and need when working on the ground. It is a highly practical course with take away and useable content.
