Course Overview
This one-day introductory course in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), developed by Dr Marion Gluck, provides a unique opportunity to understand the critical role hormones play in women’s health. Specifically, the course explores how to treat and manage common hormone-related conditions such as premenstrual syndrome (PMS), perimenopause, and menopause using bioidentical hormones.
Moreover, participants learn the foundational principles of the proven Marion Gluck Method, gaining practical knowledge to deliver personalised, patient-centred care. In addition, the course provides ongoing post-course support, so that clinicians receive expert guidance on patient case studies and can apply BHRT with confidence.
Furthermore, the course emphasises integrating scientific evidence with practical application, therefore enabling clinicians to make informed decisions for their patients. As a result, participants leave the course equipped to deliver safe and effective hormone treatments.
Learning outcomes:
After completing this course, participants will be able to:
