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 existing CME requirements for physicians, which includes a total of 100 CME credits for biennial registration. The educational programs 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 optional credit 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 complete the menopause education modules will not only receive CME credits but also be eligible 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.
