Medical schools that receive federal grants would be required to teach their students about menopause as part of their standard curriculum. This would ensure that future doctors have proper training to recognize and treat menopause-related health issues that affect millions of women. The requirement applies to public universities that participate in the federal Medical Student Education grant program.
