Women's Health in Dermatology

Providence, RI US
June 26, 2026

Overview

This innovative one-day educational program is designed to provide healthcare professionals with the latest evidence-based updates and practical strategies to improve the care of women across key stages of life, with a special focus on dermatologic and related health concerns during menopause.

Through expert-led presentations and interactive discussions, attendees will review the newest recommendations and clinical considerations for menopause management, including hormone replacement therapy and the growing role of GLP-1 medications and their dermatologic and systemic implications. The conference will also address common yet often underrecognized conditions affecting women during midlife and beyond, including menopause-related hair loss, vulvovaginal dermatologic conditions, and sexual health concerns.

In addition, the program will explore cosmetic and quality-of-life considerations that are increasingly important to patients, providing practical approaches to assessment, counseling, and treatment. By combining the latest scientific evidence with real-world clinical insight, this program aims to enhance clinical competence, improve patient outcomes, and empower providers to deliver more informed, compassionate, and holistic care for women.
