🩺 Program Overview

The Keck USC Jorge H. Mestman Endocrine and Women’s Health Symposium 2026 is a comprehensive educational program dedicated to advancing evidence-based endocrine care for women across the reproductive lifespan.

Presented in honor of Jorge H. Mestman, this symposium highlights modern approaches to endocrine disorders affecting fertility, pregnancy, metabolic health, menopause, and long-term women’s wellness.

The course features expert-led lectures, case discussions, clinical Q&A sessions, and practical management strategies focused on metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), diabetes in reproductive-age women, bariatric surgery considerations, PCOS, hypothyroidism, osteoporosis, menopause, and cognitive health.

Designed for clinicians managing endocrine and women’s health conditions, the symposium combines updated clinical guidelines with emerging research and multidisciplinary perspectives to support informed decision-making in everyday practice.

A special menopause-focused series introduces cutting-edge insights into hormonal and non-hormonal therapies, bone health, brain health, and metabolic changes during perimenopause and menopause.
