Knowledge and confidence in menopause psychiatry among psychiatry residents: a needs assessment and educational quality improvement initiative

KNOWLEDGE AND CONFIDENCE IN MENOPAUSAL PSYCHIATRY AMONG PSYCHIATRY RESIDENTS: A NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND EDUCATIONAL QUALITY IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVE

A two-phase educational quality improvement project was designed on the premise that residency training in menopause psychiatry is limited; the poster presents no findings at this stage.

The study aims to identify gaps in menopause psychiatry training among psychiatry residents and to develop and evaluate a competency-based curriculum to improve knowledge, confidence, and clinical preparedness. As its rationale, the poster notes that, with increasing life expectancy, psychiatrists are providing care to a growing number of women during menopause; that menopause can affect mood, anxiety, cognition, sleep, and response to psychotropic medications; and that structured training in this area remains limited during residency. The methods describe a two-phase educational quality improvement (QI) project conducted among psychiatry residents at the University of Miami/Jackson. In the first phase, a structured survey assesses knowledge, confidence, and educational needs in menopause psychiatry; in the second phase, a competency-based curriculum is evaluated using pre- and post-intervention surveys to measure changes in knowledge, confidence, and clinical preparedness. The poster’s results section presents no collected data, outlining only expectations: residents are expected to demonstrate knowledge gaps and low confidence in managing menopause-related psychiatric symptoms, while the curriculum is expected to improve knowledge, confidence, and perceived preparedness. Accordingly, the poster does not report a sample size, scores from assessment instruments, or statistical comparisons. The authors state that residency programs should include structured training in menopause psychiatry and that this initiative could improve clinical preparedness, support evidence-based interdisciplinary care, and offer a scalable model for integration into graduate medical education.
