Disrupt the Status Quo: Mitigating Bias in the Delivery of Menopausal Healthcare
9:15 AM - 10:15 AM Fri
Dr. Taniqua Miller, MD, is a dynamic speaker, board- certified OB/GYN & women’s health physician, burnout recovery coach, and a midlife/menopause health expert committed to empowering women in their midlife journeys through education and community.
From a young age, Dr. Taniqua was committed to empowering women and girls through the pivotal transitions of puberty, pregnancy, and perimenopause. As a teenager, she witnessed her mother experience debilitating menopausal symptoms with little support from her healthcare providers. It was a theme she repeatedly saw as she cared for women in midlife: scant education, little support, and taboo discussions about a natural and powerful transition in the lives of her patients. These experiences led Dr. Taniqua to devote her life to studying women’s healthcare, advancing patient-centered empathic care, and building a world for all women to embrace boundless lives.
She trained in psychology at Yale University and earned her medical degree from Harvard Medical school before completing her residency training in Obstetrics & Gynecology at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, VA. Dr. Taniqua is a fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and is recognized as a nationally certified menopause practitioner for the North American Menopause Society.
Dr. Taniqua is a vibrant speaker who delivers proven strategies and results for her audiences. Her speaking topics include burnout & reclaiming a boundless midlife, mitigating bias in midlife healthcare delivery, and navigating menopausal transitions with bold empowerment. Her work empowers women to achieve freedom- the freedom to fully step into the midlife transition with a realigned purpose and a new dream realized.
