NAMS 2008 Annual Meeting Huge Success

Those of you who attended the NAMS meeting in Orlando can attest to the exceptional presentations, abstracts, and opportunities for networking. Many called it the best ever! Look for the abstracts in the Nov/Dec issue of Menopause. And, thanks to a grant from Ther-Rx Corporation, the free Webcast of all presentations will be available for a year starting November 1.

Consumer Survey Results Announced

More than 2,000 women responded to a consumer survey, "I think it's menopause...but could it be aging?" that was developed and distributed by NAMS through its free monthly e-newsletter, Menopause Flashes. The results were released during the Society's 2008 Annual Meeting, since the meeting's theme was "Is It Menopause or Is It Aging?"
You'll be fascinated by the responses and learn more about counseling your patients.

Breast Care Education

A comprehensive pre-meeting CME Postgraduate Course about postmenopausal breast care was presented on September 24 at the NAMS Annual Meeting. Highlights from the course will be presented within a NAMS/Medscape CME program that will launch in November. NAMS appreciates the generous grant from Eli Lilly and Company that made these educational initiatives possible.
