  • Seeking Clinicians & Health Professional for Panel

    The UConn Health Disparities Institute (HDI) is seeking clinicians and health professionals for its  Clinical Expert Panel for the Connecticut Menopause Provider Toolkit project. Under Public Act 26-13, Section 18, HDI is developing a statewide toolkit to provide Connecticut health care providers with practical, evidence-based, and culturally appropriate guidance on menopause care. The toolkit approaches menopause as a normal life transition, helping providers recognize, discuss, and support patients through perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause.

     Applicants don't need to specialize in menopause care to apply. We welcome physicians, nurse practitioners, and other licensed health professionals from primary care (family and internal medicine), obstetrics and gynecology, cardiology, endocrinology and bone health, dermatology, psychiatry, psychology, clinical social work, nutrition, lifestyle medicine, exercise physiology, dental medicine and oral health, and related fields.
