Women’s health CME is essential for NPs, PAs, RNs, and physicians who want to stay current on the topics driving today’s clinical conversations. Skin, Bones, Hearts & Private Parts offers women’s health CME at four remaining 2026 in-person conferences: Nashville, Orlando, Denver, and Las Vegas. Virtual and on-demand women’s health CME options are also available. Topics include perimenopause and menopause, contraception, pelvic infections, sexual health, and STI management, with up to 26 CME credits available per event.
Why Women’s Health CME Matters More Than Ever
Women’s health issues are getting more attention than ever. Perimenopause and menopause, bone density, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), dermatology care, and other topics are hitting headlines, social media feeds, and daily conversations seemingly like never before. Of course, women’s health issues cover the full range of clinical topics pertinent for any organization providing continuing medical education (CME) to nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), registered nurses (RNs), and physicians.
At Skin, Bones, Hearts & Private Parts, we dedicate full-day sessions on both women’s and men’s health as a standard part of our In-person CME Conferences and Online CME options.
What Is Women’s Health CME?
Women’s health CME is continuing medical education focused on the clinical topics that affect women differently or exclusively. This includes perimenopause and menopause, contraception, pelvic health, bone density, sexual health, and cancer prevention. Effective women’s health CME also addresses the ways women present differently in areas like cardiovascular disease, mental health, and pain management.
Our commitment to women’s health CME comes from recognition that men and women’s health needs are often very different. According to the Council on Graduate Medical Education’s (COGME) Fifth Report on Women and Medicine, “changes in undergraduate and graduate medical education, in addition to CME, are needed to address adequately the comprehensive health needs of women. Primary care physicians (PCPs) who completed residency training prior to the establishment of new guidelines for women’s health education are also dependent on CME to update their knowledge and skills.”
Top Women’s Health CME Topics for 2026
The best women’s health CME programs reflect the clinical questions NPs and PAs face every day. Our women’s health CME sessions cover:
- Perimenopause and menopause management
- Whole-person contraceptive counseling
- Pelvic infection identification and treatment
- Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
- Sexual health across all genders
- Bladder symptom evaluation
- PCOS and endometriosis
- Cervical cancer prevention
- Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) updates
Every session is designed to be evidence-based and immediately applicable. Attendees leave with tools they can use in patient care the following Monday.

The Research on Women’s Health CME Demand
Demand for women’s health CME is well documented. COGME’s Fifth Report illustrated that when primary care physicians attending a university-based CME program in family medicine were surveyed about their need for CME on women’s health topics, 22 of the 30 topics listed were of interest to more than half of respondents. Notably, 11 were of very high interest.
Survey respondents most interested in women’s health CME were also most likely to believe CME would reduce the number of referrals currently required to evaluate women’s breast problems. Additional findings showed that CME in comprehensive women’s health care remains of high interest to medical professionals across specialties.
Expert Insight: Why It Improves Patient Care
“Professional development is essential to keep up with rapidly evolving evidence-based practice,” agreed Randee Masciola, DNP, APRN-CNP, WHNP-BC, FAANP, FNAP, FNPWH, FAAN, one of our presenters of men and women’s health sessions. “Ongoing education sharpens a provider’s diagnostic and treatment skills and increases confidence in complex individualized decision-making. This in turn ensures patient safety and quality of care, improving patient outcomes. The added benefit of professional education is supporting lifelong learning and increasing job satisfaction.”
Her point captures why women’s health CME is not just a licensure requirement. It represents a direct investment in the quality of care NPs and PAs deliver to their patients.
