ForwardMEDISCA Australia | Functional & Personalised Hormone Restoration Therapy and Advanced Clinical Practice | 12-13 Nov 2022 (Auckland)
MEDISCA AUSTRALIA | FUNCTIONAL & PERSONALISED HORMONE RESTORATION THERAPY AND ADVANCED CLINICAL PRACTICE
This 1.5-day interactive seminar will explore hormonal systems and circumstances where personalised medicines for tailored hormone therapies may be considered. The activity will cover pharmacological therapies, nutritional supplementation and lifestyle modification, monitoring tools and strategies which will be further reinforced by investigation of documented case work. Clinical findings will be recorded in a formal manner for purposes of confidential communication, record keeping and statistical analysis. This interactive program will allow healthcare providers the unique opportunity to collaborate to produce patient-centered treatment regimens that take into consideration patient-specific needs and pharmaceutical compounding principles (e.g., dosage strength adjustment, alternate dosage form, unique drug combinations, etc.). Through group discussions, participants will further their competency and proficiency in hormone restoration therapy and develop the skills and knowledge needed to optimize therapeutic outcomes.
In this program, participants will gain an appreciation for the individuality of hormonal systems and the need for personalised medicine tailored to an individual’s unique clinical profile. This course emphasizes a holistic and functional approach towards medicine that involves addressing the underlying cause of disease using systems-oriented concept and multimodal therapeutics. In doing so, participants will learn about the need for customised pharmacotherapeutics and nutraceutical adjuncts and how this can be achieved through compounding pharmacy. Specifically, participants will learn about the opportunities in compounding for hormone-related conditions, including perimenopause, menopause, andropause, male sexual dysfunctions, thyroid dysfunctions, and adrenal dysfunctions. Participants will learn how to uniquely design treatment regimens that include customised dosage strengths, dosage forms, delivery systems, and combinations. This program will allow healthcare providers and pharmacists with the unique opportunity to collaborate and produce a patient-centred treatment regimen that is tailored to the individual patient. Participants will be presented with clinical evidence on the benefits and risks of hormone restoration therapy and how it can be optimally applied. All course material will be put to practice through interactive case studies that involve assessing patient clinical profiles and devising appropriate and customised therapeutic solutions.
Intended audience
Physicians, pharmacists and nurse practitioners engaged in prescription hormone practice.
Learning Objectives
OVERALL LEARNING OBJECTIVES OF LIVE ACTIVITY
- Analyse physiological and biochemical features of endocrine system dysfunctions.
- Describe the hormone cascade, its neurobiological communication network, effects of exogenous and endogenous factors on the cascade, and impact on endocrine and neighbouring digestive and immune systems.
- Investigate and evaluate therapeutic alternatives for specific classifications related to hormone therapy and imbalance; specifically construct formulations, which may be prescribed or used by a healthcare provider in the treatment of perimenopause, menopause, andropause, sexual dysfunction, thyroid dysfunction, and adrenal dysfunction.
- Interpret, integrate, and evaluate comprehensive patient assessment chart data; including prior medical history, familial history, differential diagnoses, lifestyle behaviours, signs and symptoms, and laboratory test results.
- Describe and design hormone-related medication options, adjunct pharmacotherapeutics, and nutraceutical treatments that are optimal and efficacious for the individual patient.
- Recognize and evaluate the various routes of delivery, delivery systems, dosage, forms, and dispensing mechanisms used in hormone therapy, adjunct therapy, nutraceutical supplementation, and specific aspects of lifestyle management; and monitor patient responses through quantitative and qualitative systematic testing.
