This bill mandates that both the State Board of Medical Examiners and the New Jersey Board of Nursing include up to three optional credits of continuing education on menopause as a requirement for license renewal for physicians and advanced practice nurses, respectively. The Department of Health is tasked with developing training modules covering various aspects of menopause, including its physiological and psychological effects, treatment options, health risks, and best practices for management. These training modules will be accessible in multiple formats, allowing healthcare professionals to complete them at their convenience.

Additionally, the bill outlines that physicians and advanced practice nurses who complete these menopause education modules will receive continuing education credits that count towards their total required hours. They may also be eligible for financial assistance or recognition from the Department of Health, depending on available funds. The Department is also responsible for promoting these educational programs and collaborating with medical and nursing schools to incorporate menopause education into their curricula. An advisory committee will be established to monitor the effectiveness of these training programs and recommend further public health measures related to menopause.
