Conferences & Symposiums

Summary

Amidst the glamour of the Las Vegas Strip, delve into discussions on weight loss, menopause, the microbiome, insulin resistance, thyroid and adrenals, detoxification and more. Designed for practitioners and pharmacists, this engaging symposium offers comprehensive, evidence-based information on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) — focusing on treating the cause, not just the symptoms. Whether you’re new to HRT or looking to stay up to date on the latest advancements in personalized medicine, this symposium is tailor-made for you.

Our speaker lineup this year includes experts shaping the field of HRT. Hear from Bridget Briggs, MD, and Carrie Jones, ND, both new to the PCCA stage. Their areas of expertise will shed light on crucial interplays within the endocrine system. And don't miss the insights of Pamela W. Smith, MD, a trailblazer in hormone therapy, discussing her latest research on women’s health. As always, you can expect PCCA clinical compounding pharmacists to provide valuable insight into hormones, patient cases and compounding options.

Combine your thirst for knowledge with the spirit of Vegas, and let's roll the dice on revolutionizing hormone care!
