About the Course:
In collaboration with Jenni Gallagher, APRN, The Elite Nurse Practitioner is proud to announce the release of The Advanced Women’s Health and HRT course.
This course is the “next step” in our women’s health course line. While our original curriculum covers the foundational concepts of women’s reproductive and hormonal health, this version takes an in-depth look at a specialized list of conditions predominantly seen in female patient populations. Rooted in integrative medicine, the Advanced Women’s Health & HRT Course gives participants a comprehensive overview of an extensive collection of hormone replacement therapies designed to address a variety of symptoms.
Women’s health and hormone replacement therapy is a growing field. More and more women are aging, and with that comes declines in a variety of hormones and the emergence of a plethora of health conditions. Therefore, it is critical for the astute nurse practitioner to have an advanced understanding of the female reproductive and endocrine systems, facilitating a higher quality of care.
This course is for the nurse practitioner who already has a basic understanding of women’s health and hormone replacement. If you are completely new to the women’s health field, it may be best to take our original course before enrolling in the advanced edition. You can also choose to bundle these courses for a more cost-effective way to learn!

Marilyn: Justin truly cares about nurse practitioners and wants them to thrive. His courses are informative and provide all you need to start a business safely and efficiently. All he does for the nursing profession is appreciated.
Sara: I am a CNM, WHNP, and functional medicine provider. Over the years I have used Elite NPs courses to add on specialty areas. To be clear, theses are areas that I already had significant training in (BHRT, Thyroid, Functional Medicine), but wanted to fill in any holes and feel more confident in my training. Elite NP's courses are very thorough. They are taught by experts in the field. Definitely to be gone through at least twice. I recommend Elite NPs courses to all of my colleagues. I have had all of my courses reimbursed through work and you can do the course work from home. And- best part- everytime I have reached out to Justin/Elite NP for help- they answer back very quickly and fix the problem immediately. I highly recommend. The courses are affordable and the info is accurate.
Takeshanicole: Trustworthy, reliable and affordable education and guidance is provided. Timely responses with continued support and encouragement to become successful.
Hi, I’m Justin Allan MSN FNP
I am the owner and author of The Elite Nurse Practitioner, one of the hottest blogs for nurse practitioners who want to break free from the shackles of modern healthcare.
I have been practicing as an NP for 7 years. I have worked all over the country and in many different settings. I became sick of working for others and not earning what I knew what was possible and fair. So I decided to venture out on my own.
I now own multiple successful side practices and businesses as an NP. My goal is to share the knowledge I have learned and developed to my fellow NP colleagues so you can reach a level of success that very few NPs will ever achieve. It is possible to build profitable practices and businesses as a nurse practitioner!
