The Endocrinology Department of ULS Braga will organise, on October 11, 2025, the 4th edition of its Monothematic Meeting: “One Day, One Theme”. This year, the theme will be “Menopause”, and the meeting will take place in a virtual format.
We have created a multidisciplinary programme with the participation of specialists from Endocrinology, Gynaecology, and Obstetrics.
The target audience includes residents and specialists from these areas, as well as researchers and healthcare professionals interested in menopause.
Our goal is to promote knowledge sharing among all professionals involved in menopause care. Topics will include hormone replacement therapy, cardiovascular risk, and complex management issues.
The meeting will feature short oral presentations to share and discuss clinical cases. An optional evaluation test will be available at the end of the event.
We believe this topic requires continuous learning and collaboration to provide the best care to patients.
We look forward to welcoming you to this meeting!
