Mastering Pre-Menopausal Hormone Disorders

Taught by Dr. Heather Hirsch, MD, MS, MSCP

A clinically focused course designed to help healthcare professionals confidently evaluate, diagnose, and manage complex hormone-related conditions before menopause.

Hormone disorders across the reproductive years are common, yet frequently misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or treated in isolation.

From PCOS and PMDD to progesterone intolerance, perinatal mood disorders, and the early stages of perimenopause, clinicians are often left without a cohesive framework for care.

Mastering Pre-Menopausal Hormone Disorders provides a comprehensive, neuroendocrinology-based approach to understanding and managing hormone conditions across the female reproductive lifespan. This course emphasizes pattern recognition, diagnostic clarity, and evidence-based treatment strategies that translate directly to clinical practice.

What You’ll Learn

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

Understand the female reproductive-cycle neuroendocrinology spectrum and how hormone disorders evolve over time
Identify and manage common and complex presentations of PCOS, including diagnostic criteria and treatment options
Recognize peri- and postnatal mood disorders, differentiate anxiety and depressive syndromes, and apply appropriate support strategies
Evaluate progesterone intolerance and disorders, including symptom patterns and treatment approaches
Diagnose and treat PMDD, using evidence-based frameworks
Confidently assess and manage perimenopause, including diagnostic criteria and therapeutic options
Apply a longitudinal, life-course approach to hormone care rather than siloed symptom management
