Abstract:
Menopause represents a major life transition affecting nearly half of a woman's lifespan, yet clinician education in menopause care remains inconsistent and fragmented across medical training. This introductory article examines the current state of menopause education within undergraduate and graduate medical education, and identifies critical gaps in knowledge, experience, and clinical exposure. Particular attention is given to persistent misconceptions surrounding hormone therapy, and the consequences of inadequate training on patient care.

Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle
At puberty, GnRH begins a pulsatile release pattern, which triggers the anterior pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The frequency and amplitude of GnRH pulses vary across the menstrual cycle, with faster pulses favoring LH release and slower pulses favoring FSH release.
