The Menopause Education Gap

Despite the ubiquity of menopause, most clinicians enter practice without formal training.

  • 70% of OB/GYN residency programs include no menopause education

  • Only 7% of new physicians feel prepared to manage midlife women’s health

  • 60–80% of women experience significant symptoms

  • Fewer than 10% are offered effective treatment

The result? Underprepared clinicians and millions of women navigating this transition without informed support.

The Meno Learning Lab offers a structured, research-driven path to mastering menopause care

The Meno Learning Lab curriculum is co-designed by expert professor/clinicians. Here you will find a structured, menopause-informed learning pathway to help clinicians deliver confident, evidence-based care.

Meet Your Host

Sarah Shealy, RN, MSN, CNM, MSCP

 

Sarah Shealy RN, MSN, CNM, MSCP is a Certified Nurse Midwife, Menopause Specialist, and the founder and designer of the Meno Learning Lab. For 30 years she has worked at the intersection of women's health, education, and advocacy.

Her own perimenopause journey sent her deep into the evidence and clarified what she'd always known — that when clinicians and their patients truly understand what's happening, they can work together, honor what makes each experience unique, and transform the way midlife is navigated.

Dedicated to the full arc of women's health — from postnatal recovery through perimenopause and beyond — she is an expert at translating complex science into clear, practical knowledge you can actually use.

Mother of daughters. Lifelong learner. Deeply committed to the women and patients navigating midlife.
