Finding Medical Support in Menopause
Finding the right support often starts with connecting with a health care provider who has additional training and interest in menopause care. This may include family physicians, nurse practitioners, gynecologists, menopause-certified healthcare providers.
1. Search for a Certified Menopause Practitioner
The Menopause Society offers a directory of healthcare providers with additional menopause certification and training.
Canadian patients can search by province to find practitioners near them.
2. Explore the Menopause Foundation of Canada
The Menopause Foundation of Canada provides evidence-informed education, resources, advocacy, and access to leading Canadian menopause experts through their Medical Advisory Board.
3. Work With Your Current Healthcare Provider
Specialist wait times in Canada can sometimes be lengthy, but your family physician or nurse practitioner may still be able to help support you while you wait.
Preparing ahead of time for appointments — including tracking symptoms and understanding your concerns — can make conversations more productive and empowering.
