NAMS 2010 Annual Meeting

Since its inception at The New York Academy of Sciences in 1989, The North American Menopause Society (NAMS) has held an annual scientific meeting that is consistently considered one of the top meetings in women’s health. And the 2010 NAMS Annual Meeting will be no exception.

Outstanding Scientific Program
“Transition & Change: The Future Is Upon Us”

• This year’s comprehensive scientific program is outstanding. The world’s experts in menopause and women’s health will discuss key topics that focus on the latest research and interpretations of findings for clinical application. Register soon!
• The pre-meeting session “Abnormal Uterine Bleeding”  is planned for 8:00 AM-2:00 PM on Wednesday, October 6. Separate registration fee is required. These sessions sell out every year and space is limited. You are strongly encouraged to register as soon as possible.
