In late 2022, Naomi Busch faced repeated inquiries from her book club about menopause symptoms, revealing a significant gap in knowledge among healthcare providers. Despite her medical background, Busch realized that menopause education was lacking in medical curricula. Determined to help, she pursued certification from The Menopause Society, reflecting a broader trend; in 2024 alone, over 1,300 providers became certified. This surge in interest signals a vital shift in understanding menopause, with organizations like the International Menopause Society offering essential training resources to healthcare professionals.
"I'm not going down quietly," Busch remembers one woman vowing.
"It's not something we learn about in medical school," she says.
More than 1,300 providers became certified in 2024; and more than five times as many people applied for the exam in 2024 as in 2022.
The International Menopause Society... offers a free online training programme for health-care professionals.
