Course overview

  • What’s Inside

    Confident menopause care starts with the right knowledge.

    Menopause care can be complex. Symptoms often overlap with other clinical conditions, making recognition and management challenging.

    This comprehensive course was developed by nurse practitioners in collaboration with leading national and international menopause experts to help clinicians deliver confident, evidence-based care from perimenopause through postmenopause.

    Through five in-depth modules, you’ll gain a complete learning experience — from understanding hormonal physiology and symptom patterns to applying diagnostic reasoning, prescribing safely, and supporting long-term health. Each module builds on the last to strengthen your clinical reasoning and confidence in menopause care.

    The curriculum integrates Canadian, U.S., and global guidelines, ensuring relevance across North America and beyond. Both metric and imperial units are used throughout.

    Who It’s For

    This program is designed for clinicians in primary care and women’s health who want to feel more confident managing menopause and midlife health.

    It welcomes nurse practitioners, physicians, registered nurses, physician assistants, midwives, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals who support women through the menopause transition.

    Whether you’re new to menopause management or looking to deepen your expertise, this course will help you elevate your care and confidence in practice.

    What You’ll Learn

    • Confidently assess, diagnose, and manage menopause-related symptoms across perimenopause and postmenopause

    • Differentiate menopause changes from other clinical conditions

    • Apply evidence-based strategies for hormonal, non-hormonal, and integrated therapy

    • Recognize when referral or interdisciplinary collaboration is appropriate

    • Support long-term health through lifestyle and preventive care

    Click each module below to explore what you’ll learn.

  • Build a solid understanding of hormonal physiology, staging, and inclusive care principles that form the foundation for effective menopause management.

    You’ll learn key terminology, the STRAW+10 staging system, the systemic effects of estrogen decline, the evolving landscape of menopause care, and the principles of trauma-informed and inclusive care throughout.

    By the end of this module, you'll understand the biological basis of menopause and be able to stage patients confidently using evidence-based frameworks.

  • Identify and interpret the full spectrum of menopause-related symptoms — from vasomotor and genitourinary changes to mood, cognitive, sleep, sexual health, and other physical symptoms.

    You’ll learn to connect symptoms with hormonal physiology, recognize key clinical patterns, and differentiate menopause-related changes from other causes using targeted history, red-flag identification, and appropriate screening tools. This module also emphasizes effective patient communication and counselling strategies to validate symptoms and foster shared understanding in care.

    By the end of this module, you'll be confident conducting comprehensive symptom-specific assessments and knowing when to investigate further.

  • Develop a structured, evidence-based approach to evaluating menopause in clinical practice.

    This module walks you through comprehensive history-taking, targeted physical exams, appropriate use of hormone testing and imaging, baseline screening, and differential diagnosis. You’ll also learn how to identify and act on red flags that may indicate underlying pathology, interpret results in context, and determine when interdisciplinary collaboration or referral is warranted.

    By the end of this module, you'll be able to integrate clinical findings, order appropriate diagnostic tests, confidently distinguish menopause from other conditions, and recognize when referral is indicated.

  • Translate evidence into action with individualized treatment strategies for your patients.

    You’ll learn evidence-based and practical approaches to prescribing and monitoring menopausal hormone therapy (MHT), non-hormonal and integrated treatment options, and management of vasomotor, genitourinary, mood, sleep, and cognitive symptoms. You’ll also explore bone, metabolic, and cardiovascular health, contraception in perimenopause, and management of special populations.

    By the end of this module, you'll be equipped to prescribe hormone therapy safely, offer evidence-based alternatives, and create individualized treatment plans tailored to each patient's needs and goals.

  • Support lasting wellbeing and preventive care beyond symptom management.

    You’ll learn about metabolic and nutritional health, bone and muscle preservation, cardiovascular health, cognitive and brain health, mental health and sleep, thyroid and endocrine considerations, sexual health and intimacy, and evidence-based approaches to screening and preventive care.

    By the end of this module, you'll be confident guiding patients through evidence-based lifestyle strategies and preventive care that support health and vitality throughout the postmenopausal years.

Testimonials

  • “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 program 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

  • “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

  • "I am so incredibly grateful and happy that NP Circle exists! I’ve always felt that NPs in Canada 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 attended has left me with a wealth of invaluable and practical knowledge, and the “Resource” section on this website is full of high-quality and practical resources! I also love the questions and answers that NPs accross Canada 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!"

    Andrea Mayne, MN, AGPCNP
    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

  • “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.”

    Nurse Practitioner - SK, BC

  • "I’m loving being a part of NP Circle! The courses are taught by MDs and NPs 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!"

    Helen Nicolle, NP-PHC
    Nurse Practitioner - ON, NB

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.”

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)
    Nurse Practitioner - ON

  • “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
    Nurse Practitioner - ON

  • "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."

    Claudia Mariano, MSc, PHCNP
    Retired Nurse Practitioner - ON

  • “Could not be happier with my decision to attend this event. For ~$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.”
