App Description

It is our privilege and pleasure to invite you to attend the second SIGMA Menopause Conference to be held in Toronto, Canada on Sept. 11th to 13th 2015 at the Hilton Toronto Hotel.

This will be the second National meeting in Canada focused on Mature Women’s Health.

SIGMA/CMS is a multidisciplinary group of professionals who are interested in the peri and post-menopausal health of women. We facilitate education at all levels, knowledge translation and research. We are unique because we provide support and education to both the Family Physician and the Gynecologist. Also, SIGMA reaches out to other health professionals, including: Nurse Practitioners, Nurses, Psychologists, Pharmacists, and Counselors.

Our inaugural meeting in Ottawa May 2013 was a wonderful success with both national and international key opinion leaders. Our participants were thrilled with the opportunity to interact with all these experts.

We are very excited about our second meeting in Toronto, making it more interactive with current updates, didactic lectures, debates and case presentations.

Plenary Sessions will include:

New Advances in Menopause Hormonal Therapy (MHT)
Cardiovascular Disease in Women
Adult Immunization Therapy and HPV
Bone Health and Sarcopenia
Cognition, Mental Health and Vasomotor Symptoms
Vulvar Dermatology
Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
Menopause and Diabetes
Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause
Debates will include:

The Great Canadian Sex Challenge – Testosterone Treatment;
International Viewpoints on Duration of Menopause Hormone Treatment
We shall have a Pre-meeting Post Graduate Course entitled “A Menopause Primer.”

We shall also have a New Product Theatre before the Opening Symposium.

Finally, we can assure you of rewarding scientific exchanges along with a great opportunity to socialize with colleagues and friends.

Toronto is an exciting city with many things to see and to do. It is the largest city in Canada and the 4th largest in North America.

Toronto will be the host to the Pan Am Games in July 2015 and is the host to the International Film Festival in September 2015. The Hilton Toronto Hotel is centrally and conveniently located – a nice place to be.

We look forward to seeing you all in September 2015 and many thanks for your ongoing support.
