An all new, CWIM Gather retreat-style conference
You asked, and we’ve delivered! Following the success of our menopause-focused workshops and discussions at recent conferences, we clearly heard that you need more. We’ve created a comprehensive program that addresses perimenopause and menopause, equipping you with the knowledge to better support your patients as well as better understand and manage your own health confidently - regardless of where you are in the journey.
This retreat-style conference offers a more intimate setting compared to our large annual gatherings, featuring dedicated time for connecting with colleagues, self-care, and recharging. The interactive workshop format allows us to explore topics in greater depth and provides ample opportunity to engage with our expert speakers, whether joining us virtually or in-person.
This brand-new course will cover all the essentials, including all things perimenopause, medical treatment of menopause including sexual health and genitourinary symptoms (GUS). We’ll also delve into crucial areas such as sleep, nutrition & fitness during menopause, pelvic floor health and functional mobility and balance. To round out the weekend, we’ll host an ask-the-expert panel featuring several of our speakers, to make sure you leave with all your questions answered!
