I believe that the medical specialists, family physicians and specialized nurse practitioners who attend our academic programs receive adequate training on menopause. We use the evidence available to us. There are courses that cover menopause. I myself teach a course on menopause in my teaching unit. I would say the training is adequate.
That said, not all physicians necessarily maintain their expertise in menopause afterward. Some physicians specialize in other fields, such as musculoskeletal health, mental health or women's health, for example.
The College of Family Physicians of Canada has established clear objectives related to medical exams.
