Learning Objectives

• Describe the pathophysiology and multisystem nature of PMOS (formerly PCOS), including its reproductive, metabolic, dermatologic, and psychological manifestations
• Identify signs, symptoms, risk factors, and clinical presentations that warrant evaluation for PMOS across the reproductive lifespan
• Apply current diagnostic criteria to determine whether an adolescent or adult patient meets criteria for PMOS
• Select an appropriate evidence-based diagnostic evaluation for suspected PMOS, including laboratory testing and appropriate use of ultrasound and/or AMH, while excluding alternative etiologies
• Assess patients with PMOS for metabolic, cardiovascular, endometrial, psychological, and sleep-related risks using appropriate history, physical examination, laboratory testing, and validated screening tools
• Develop an individualized longitudinal monitoring and referral plan for a patient with PMOS based on clinical findings, risk factors, symptoms, and patient priorities
• Formulate an evidence-based, individualized management plan for a patient with PMOS who is not currently seeking pregnancy, addressing menstrual/endometrial health, hyperandrogenic symptoms, metabolic health, and long-term disease prevention
• Apply patient-centered communication and shared decision-making strategies that support patient agency, minimize weight stigma and bias, and promote achievable health-behavior goals
• Develop an initial preconception and fertility evaluation plan for a patient with PMOS who desires pregnancy
• Select appropriate first-line fertility interventions for anovulatory infertility associated with PMOS, including health optimization, timed intercourse, and pharmacologic ovulation induction, and identify indications for escalation or specialty referral
• Provide individualized, evidence-based patient education and anticipatory guidance regarding PMOS, including symptom management, lifelong health risks, reproductive goals, fertility, follow-up, and reliable patient resources
• Integrate evidence-based PMOS care into clinical practice using appropriate screening tools, clinical workflows, patient education/after-visit resources, documentation templates, and relevant coding and billing considerations

Summary

This comprehensive course provides healthcare professionals with an evidence-based approach to understanding, evaluating, and managing Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), formerly known as PCOS. Learners will explore the condition’s pathophysiology, diagnostic criteria and phenotypes while developing a broader understanding of its reproductive, metabolic, cardiovascular, and psychological effects.

The course translates current evidence into practical clinical care. Learners will review appropriate diagnostic workups and differential diagnoses, long-term health screening, and individualized treatment strategies for menstrual irregularity, hyperandrogenism, metabolic health, psychological well-being, and other common concerns. The course also addresses preconception counseling, fertility evaluation, ovulation induction, and when specialty referral may be appropriate.

A strong emphasis is placed on patient-centered, inclusive, and sustainable care. Learners will leave with practical screening tools, patient education resources, documentation guidance, and strategies for incorporating comprehensive PMOS care into everyday clinical workflows.
