Excerpt
We are living in an age of overwhelming, often conflicting, information overload with disagreement among experts about how to interpret the information. At the same time, we are faced with patients who are confused about what to believe and who to believe. This is most visible when women seek medical information from celebrities and from self-proclaimed experts who often promote recommendations that are not evidence based. The North American Menopause Society (NAMS) as an organization and those of us certified as menopause specialists through NAMS have a responsibility to advance the knowledge of menopausal medicine through research and through evidence-based education about menopause. Never have the medical profession and the patients we serve needed direction and assistance more from NAMS than today.
