March Med School Café - 'Menopause and Hormone Replacement Therapy'

The March Med School Café lecture will feature Dr. Donna Bennett, assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of South Alabama College of Medicine.

Her lecture, titled “Menopause and Hormone Replacement Therapy,” will take place March 19, 2014, at the USA Faculty Club on USA’s main campus. Lunch will be served at 11:30 a.m., and the presentation begins at noon.

During the talk, Dr. Bennett will discuss menopause, including its symptoms and several treatment options that can relieve symptoms. These options include different medications delivered using patches, shots, pills, rings and creams. In addition, she will include information on hormone pellet implants, which offer yet another option for symptomatic women.

Dr. Bennett earned a bachelor’s degree in biology from Montclair State College in Upper Montclair, N.J. She earned her medical degree from Robert Wood Johnson Medical Center in Piscataway, N.J., and completed her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Jersey Shore Medical Center in Neptune, N.J.
