This bill allows physicians to earn one credit of continuing medical education (CME) specifically focused on menopause as part of their license renewal process. The State Board of Medical Examiners is tasked with incorporating this optional credit into the required CME credits for physicians, which currently totals 100 hours for biennial registration. The educational content will cover various aspects of menopause, including its physiological and psychological effects, available treatments, associated health risks, and effective patient communication strategies.

Additionally, the bill outlines that training for this menopause education will be accessible through multiple formats, such as online courses and in-person seminars, allowing physicians to complete the training at their convenience. Physicians who participate in these modules will not only receive CME credits but may also qualify for financial assistance, public recognition, and specialized CME tracks relevant to their specialties. The Department of Health is responsible for promoting these educational programs and ensuring their integration into existing medical education offerings, while an advisory committee will monitor the effectiveness of the training initiatives.
