What is a MEDI Assessment?

The MEDI Assessment is a thorough hormonal assessment that will address your concerns and symptoms during the menopause transition. The MEDI can also assess other hormonal concerns, such as those related to contraception methods that may affect mood or anxiety, or severe premenstrual symptoms.

What is a Nurse Practitioner?

Nurse practitioners (NPs) are certified and trained healthcare providers who are authorized to provide a wide range of services to patients. In Ontario, NPs have completed a master’s degree in Advanced Practice Nursing, then they have passed a certification exam and are registered with the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO). They also must have extensive clinical practice experience before they can register with the CNO as an NP. Once registered, they can provide a range of healthcare services, including diagnosing and treating common illnesses and injuries, prescribing medications, ordering and interpreting diagnostic tests, and providing health education and counselling.

Nurse practitioners in Ontario have an important role in improving access to medical care for patients, particularly in underserved areas of healthcare and remote areas. They are also important members of a healthcare team and help to promote better health outcomes for patients and to reduce the burden on the health care system.

At BRIA, our Nurse Practitioner does Part 1 of the MEDI Assessment and can also offer other mental health assessments and follow-up services.

What are examples of difficult reproductive health decisions that may be aided by a bioethicist?

  • situations that elicit differing values and beliefs of family members
  • conflict pertaining to healthcare planning
  • pregnancy planning and fertility treatments (for example, decisions pertaining to third-party reproduction; what to do with genetic testing; management, disposal, and donation of embryos)
  • pregnancy termination

What is an ethical issue in need of decision-making support ?

An ethical issue can arise when people are making complex choices for themselves, or on behalf of others. In such situations, an individual’s own set of values may conflict, or they may conflict with those of others, leading to uncertainty about how to proceed. Ethical decision-making involves deciding what to do, why to do it, and how to implement a decision.

Who are the BRIA therapists?

The BRIA therapists are licensed health care providers– nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, psychotherapists, and psychiatrists– and are highly trained women’s mental health care practitioners. They have been chosen to join the BRIA team because of their expertise in women’s health, their compassion, and their commitment to helping BRIA patients feel better.

Is therapy even helpful?

There is strong medical data to show that talk therapy is a very effective treatment for many mental health problems. Individual, couples, and group therapy can help people make substantial and long-standing changes in their mental health. There is also evidence that physical brain changes take place during therapy. Patients who go through therapy actually develop new and healthier ways of thinking, feeling and interacting with other people; they feel less stressed and can function better in their day-to-day life.
