Why attend?

Menopause and midlife concerns often overlap with other common primary care presentations. Patients may present with changes in bleeding, migraine, mood, sleep, sexual health, weight, or other concerns, and deciding what to assess, investigate, treat, or refer is not always straightforward.

The 2027 Menopause & Midlife Health Expert Series is designed to help NPs and other primary care clinicians navigate menopause and midlife care with greater confidence. Across 10 specialist-led sessions, you will learn practical approaches for perimenopause, early menopause, primary ovarian insufficiency, abnormal uterine bleeding, hormone therapy, mood, sleep and cognitive changes, migraine, sexual and vulvovaginal health, weight management and cardiometabolic risk, bone health, cancer survivorship, and complex menopause care.

Each session is grounded in real-world practice and includes current evidence, practical prescribing guidance, case discussions, and live Q&A. Join live or watch the recordings on demand when it works for you.

How does it work?

Each weekly session runs for 2 hours:

Specialist-led teaching (75 minutes): Explore a high-impact clinical topic through practical guidance, current evidence, and case-based discussion.
Live Q&A (45 minutes): Ask the specialist your questions and work through challenging clinical scenarios.

All sessions are recorded and uploaded to the NP Circle platform. Attend live, watch on-demand, or use a combination of both.

Complete the series to earn 20 ANCC contact hours. A certificate of completion is available to learners who meet the activity requirements.

Who should attend?

This series is designed for nurse practitioners working in primary care, women’s health, and specialized settings who want to strengthen their approach to menopause and midlife care or stay current as the evidence continues to evolve.

Family physicians, physician assistants, registered nurses, midwives, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals involved in menopause and midlife care are also welcome.

The content assumes a foundational understanding of primary care and is suitable for both early-career and experienced clinicians.

Testimonials

"There’s something truly special about a community of nurse practitioners who share not only a similar educational background and clinical experience, but also a genuine passion for delivering exceptional patient care. NP Circle is exactly that! I joined NP Circle for the Menopause Management Course while preparing for the MSCP exam. I reviewed other recommended materials, but found the course much more practical and user-friendly while still covering everything I needed to know for the exam. The evidence-based content, algorithms, and real-world clinical guidance helped everything come together in a way that made sense. I felt well prepared going into the exam, and I’m thrilled to say that I passed. The course also left me feeling even more confident caring for patients in practice. I highly recommend this course to any clinician looking to strengthen their knowledge of menopause management. Thank you to the entire NP Circle team!"
Danielle Marston, FNP-C, CLC, MSCP
Nurse Practitioner, CO
“This platform has been a great place to connect with other NPs, share insights and engage in continuing education opportunities geared to support NPs in their practice. I'm so glad I decided to become a part of this community. For the first time in my NP career I feel like I have a community and an amazing support network at my fingertips. The Lab Interpretation and Menopause Management courses along with the frequent webinar offerings on varied topics, and real world case discussions others bring to the forum make it easy to keep current and upgrade your knowledge. Thank you for creating this space!”

“I am a semi-retired NP providing care to remote communities. Even after 25 years in practice and decades of women’s health conferences, I still find menopause care challenging to navigate at times. The Menopause Management Course has been the perfect enhancement to my knowledge. The content is highly curated, evidence-based, and well organized, with helpful PDFs and charts for each module. The self-paced format with built-in repetition makes it easy to retain key concepts. Concepts like SERMs, TSECs, and KNDy neurons finally clicked once I heard Aliya explain them. Aliya’s gentle voice provides a warm and humble backdrop, and you can feel the respect she has for women, the content, and the learner. Kudos to Aliya, Claudia, and their team. This is most certainly the best course I have ever taken, and I have enough certificates to paper a wall.”
Barb Hood, BScN, NP-PHC

"I’m so grateful for NP Circle. This platform has given me the opportunity not only to connect with nurse practitioners across the country, but also to access high-quality, accessible online educational opportunities. The Menopause Management Course was excellent, offering practical, evidence-based tools that I will be able to utilize in my practice when caring for women during this life transition. I look forward to the upcoming Primary Care Review Course. Thank you to Aliya and the NP Circle team for building this great platform together!"

“The education is excellent. As an NP, I appreciate how practical and clinically focused the Menopause Management Course is. Menopause is an area of women’s health that is often overlooked in traditional training, yet it has a significant impact on patients’ quality of life. This course provides clear, evidence-informed guidance that will meaningfully improve how NPs assess, educate, and support women through this transition.”
Poonam Sehgal, MScN, NP-PHC
Nurse Practitioner - ON
“NP Circle creates the best educational opportunities I’ve come across in my NP career thus far. Hearing from the industry’s top specialists about tips and tricks on how we can manage many illnesses and conditions that we often refer for in primary care is motivating, empowering and can significantly reduce the volume of referrals sent and wait times for patients.”
Brooke Wagner, MN, NP-PHC
Nurse Practitioner - ON
“NP Circle is an incredible platform for the busy NP. Not only are their multiple course offerings, but there is a plethora of valuable resources at one's fingertips - including the valuable input from other NP's. Having taken multiple courses from a wide variety of platforms, I can attest that NP Circle is absolutely the best platform out there in regards to content and value for money. The NP Circle Lab Interpretation Course is by far the most valuable course I have ever taken.”
Meagan Beavers, MSN, RN, BA, FNP-C, CEN
Nurse Practitioner - CA, ON
“Could not be happier with my decision to attend the Primary Care Expert Series. For less than $20 per session, you get evidence-based and relevant clinical tools from medical specialists. The majority of the sessions are held after a standard work day and recorded for later viewing as well, which is super convenient. After attending each session, I take away valuable knowledge that will enhance the care that I provide my patients.”
Claire Smith, MN, NP-PHC
Nurse Practitioner - ON
“This is a wonderful platform. I actually left primary care about a year ago because I was a new grad and felt so overwhelmed by all the knowledge gaps I had. But since I’ve been watching all of these webinars and doing my own studying to fill in my learning gaps, I went back to primary care a couple of months ago. I’m sure you know this, but you are making such a massive difference for NPs!”
Kelsey MacNeil, MN, NP-PHC
Nurse Practitioner - ON
"NP Circle’s Lab Interpretation Course is an amazing resource for both new and seasoned NPs. It’s self-paced with lifetime access and is conveniently delivered in short sections that can be completed at any time as schedules allow. The hard work put into the development of this course is evidenced by the comprehensive content and expert review. This is an outstanding and much needed resource for all NPs contributing to a gap in NP education. Thank you NP Circle!"
Kimberly Harkness, MN, NP-PHC, NP-Adult, GNC(C)

“The NP Circle Menopause Management Course opened up so much information and understanding for me regarding the transition for women and how to better treat them. The course was laid out in such a way that each module built on the prior ones which provided a deeper understanding and solidification of knowledge. I feel more prepared to take the Menopause Society Certification Exam after completion of this course. Highly recommend this course!”
Lori Wistling, APRN, FNP-BC, FNP-C

"As a new graduate, NP Circle has been a life changer for me. I feel extremely empowered by the community, the trainings, and the knowledge I’ve gained so far. The Lab Interpretation Course has made a huge difference in my confidence and was exactly what I needed. I love the short videos, how the course is divided, and how clear and easy everything is to understand. It’s already changing my day-to-day practice!"
Marianne Leblond, MN, IPSPL
Nurse Practitioner - QC
“After completing the Menopause Management Course this past weekend, I was able to immediately apply what I learned in my primary care practice. Just yesterday, I used the principles from the course with 4 different patients at 4 different stages of menopause! I felt confident asking pertinent questions, discussing expectations, and even adjusting hormone therapy routes when requested. As an experienced provider, this felt like a true WIN-WIN! I was able to expand my knowledge while guiding my patients toward the best course of treatment for their lives. I highly recommend NP Circle’s Menopause Management Course!”
Antoinette Riley, DNP, FNP-BC, DCNP
Nurse Practitioner - TX
“As an experienced nurse practitioner, I found this lab interpretation course to be both refreshing and incredibly valuable. The content is concise yet comprehensive, covering everything from basic panels to more complex diagnostics in a clinically relevant way. It’s clear the course was designed with real-world application in mind — bridging the gap between textbook knowledge and what we actually see in practice. Whether you’re newly licensed or have years under your belt, this course sharpens your diagnostic skills and boosts confidence in managing complex lab results. Highly recommend for anyone looking to elevate their clinical acumen.”
Kristen Carey, MN, NP(F)
Nurse Practitioner - SK, BC
"I am so incredibly grateful and happy that NP Circle exists! I’ve always felt that NPs haven’t previously had structured and high quality resources available to help foster continuing education after graduation, and NP Circle has really superseded my expectations. Every course I’ve taken has left me with a wealth of invaluable and practical knowledge, and the platform is full of high-quality and practical resources! I also love the questions and answers that NPs across the country are able to contribute to. It’s such a helpful learning resource. I can’t thank Aliya enough for creating this space for all of us!"

“These are the most important education sessions you can attend as a nurse practitioner in primary health care. You leave with tangible tools to better serve your patients and minimize unnecessary referrals and long specialist wait times. Sessions are organized with sufficient time for questions and some specialist even provide post-session written materials.”

"As a recently retired NP, I have experienced firsthand the diverse facets of our profession, from clinical expertise and advocacy, to leadership , scholarship, and research. Now more than ever, it's crucial to be part of a supportive community of like-minded NPs. Being connected in this way empowers us to grow both individually and collectively, enhancing our ability to elevate patient care to new heights."

“My experience working with Claudia at NP Circle was incredibly positive. She provided thoughtful guidance, practical career insight, and a supportive approach during a time when I was navigating several major professional decisions, including a significant cross-border move and career transition. Her coaching helped me gain clarity, confidence, and a better understanding of the direction I wanted to move in professionally. Claudia was also exceptionally responsive, approachable, and genuinely invested throughout the process. I always felt supported and able to reach out with concerns. I truly appreciated her encouragement, perspective and ability to tailor the process to my individual goals and circumstances. Thank you, Claudia, for your guidance and support throughout this process.”

“I’m so happy this exists! I would highly recommend these events to any primary care provider who is looking to gain knowledge from some of the best specialists and improve their everyday practice. I’ve already been able to implement some of the knowledge I gained from the first session into my practice and prevent an unnecessary referral! 5/5 stars”
Bri Smith, MN, NP-PHC

"I’m loving being a part of NP Circle! The programs are taught by NPs, MDs, and others who are the best in their field. I’ve had so many great takeaways for my practice. All the resources I need for practice are easily accessible. It’s also been nice to receive updates on relevant news to NP practice and to learn from difficult cases posted by other NPs. Any questions I have related to daily practice or career advancement I can post on there and someone always has helpful advice/information. All in all it’s a great one stop shop for all my NP needs!"
