Top 9 Hormone Therapy Training Programs for Providers in 2026

For physicians, NPs, PAs and nurses adding hormone therapy. Updated October 2, 2026 · Prepared by Prospyr. Prospyr makes practice software, not hormone therapy training, and none of the programs below is a Prospyr product. Each summary reflects what the organization publishes on its own website, checked October 2026. Course dates, prices, CME credit and license terms change, so confirm everything in writing before you register or sign.

What does hormone therapy training for providers cover?

Hormone therapy training for providers teaches licensed clinicians how to evaluate, prescribe and monitor bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) and testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for men and women. Courses usually cover lab panels, dosing of testosterone, estradiol, progesterone and thyroid, follow-up visits, and side effects. Pellet programs add insertion technique, often with hands-on practice. The real differences are who runs the program (a medical society, an independent CME company, or a pellet supplier), whether CME credit is accredited, and what you agree to buy or pay monthly afterward.

The 9 hormone therapy training programs at a glance

How we chose this list

We loaded each organization's own website and kept programs that clearly train licensed clinicians in hormone therapy. Then we looked at four things you can check before you pay:

• Accreditation. Does the program state who accredits its CME or nursing contact hours, and how many credits a course carries?
• Independence. Is the training vendor-neutral, or does it lead into buying a specific pellet, dosing tool or supplement line?
• Published terms. Are course fees, exam fees and any monthly license fees on the website?
• Scope. Does it cover men and women, testosterone and estrogen, labs and follow-up, not just one delivery method?

We put vendor-neutral education first and supplier programs after, because a new provider should understand the medicine before choosing a product. The order is our editorial view, not a measure of results.

1. WorldLink Medical

WorldLink Medical, based in Salt Lake City, Utah, runs an Optimal Medicine Training Series for physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, OB-GYNs and functional medicine providers. Its first course, Mastering the Foundations of BHRT, covers testosterone for men and women, estrogen, progesterone, thyroid, DHEA and melatonin, plus lab testing and billing.

What stands out:

• Accredited credit. The foundations course lists 19.5 AMA PRA Category 1 credits and 19.5 nursing contact hours through The Foundation for Care Management.
• Published prices. $1,695 for prescribers; non-prescriber pricing starts at $1,095.
• Dates and formats. Sessions are listed for December 4–6, 2026 and February, June and November 2027, in person at Le Meridien in Salt Lake City or online.
• An exam, clearly labeled. Its Clinical Certification in Hormone Optimization (BHRT) requires two courses and a roughly 200-question online exam with an 80% passing score, for a $575 exam fee. WorldLink states the certification "is not equivalent to board certification recognized by" the ABMS.

Right for: a provider who wants to learn hormone medicine before committing to any supplier. Ask: what the second course costs, and how many total CME hours the full certification carries.

2. The Menopause Society

The Menopause Society is a nonprofit medical society focused on menopause care. It offers the Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP) competency exam, member continuing education such as Practice Pearls, the journal Menopause, and an annual meeting.

What stands out:

• Open to all licensed clinicians. The society states that "all licensed healthcare professionals are eligible," with a copy of your license required.
• Published fees. $400 for members and $725 for non-members.
• Remote testing. Exams are live remote proctored in June and October windows, with test centers available for an extra fee. The October 2026 application deadline was August 31, 2026.

Right for: NPs, PAs and physicians who treat perimenopausal and menopausal women and want a credential from a medical society rather than a supplier. Ask: how long the credential stays valid and what renewal requires. Note that this is a knowledge exam, not a hands-on or testosterone-for-men course.

3. Empire Medical Training

Empire Medical Training runs a one-day Hormone Pellet Training course under its Academy of Functional Medicine. The page lists about eight hours of instruction on testosterone and estradiol protocols, patient selection, pellet insertion, FDA requirements and ICD-10 coding, with afternoon practice on a tissue training model in small groups.

What stands out:

• Published prices. $1,999–$2,149 in person by location (regular price); livestream pricing varies, check Empire's site.
• Many locations. 2027 dates are listed in Las Vegas, New York City, Orlando and Los Angeles, plus livestream dates.
• Wide audience. Physicians, dentists, nurses, PAs and other clinicians authorized to give injections in their state.

Right for: clinicians who want a single, product-neutral pellet day with hands-on practice. Ask: the CME credit count for this specific course, and whether practice on a tissue model is enough for your state and your malpractice carrier before you treat patients.

4. A4M (American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine)

A4M offers conferences, fellowships and certifications in anti-aging, metabolic and functional medicine. Its specialty certifications include Advanced Metabolic Endocrinology, and its on-demand library lists hormone courses such as "The Hormone Symphony - The Basics" and "Hormones and Their Effect on Weight." A4M states that most of its online courses are CME-accredited.

Right for: providers who want hormones as part of a wider longevity and functional medicine education. Ask: which modules cover testosterone and menopause hormone therapy specifically, the CME accreditor for each, and how A4M's own board certifications differ from ABMS board certification.

5. Age Management Medicine Group

Age Management Medicine Group (AMMG), based in Naples, Florida, holds twice-yearly conferences where hormones, hormone replacement and menopause are listed session topics. Its October 7–11, 2026 Las Vegas meeting lists up to 18 AMA CME credits. AMMG also offers a Training & Certification in Age Management Medicine that it describes as a 45-CME-credit advanced course, a peptide certification with the Clinical Peptide Society, and on-demand webinars.

Right for: physicians building a men's and women's health or longevity service who learn well at conferences. Ask: how much of the certification is hormone-specific, and the total cost.

6. Biote

Biote trains providers in the Biote Method, its pellet-based BHRT protocol, including dosing through its own diagnostic and dosing platform, pellet insertion and supplements. Biote reports training more than 9,200 providers in more than 5,300 clinics, with one national and five regional training centers, and pairs each trained provider with a Biote mentor for ongoing support on compliance and research updates.

Right for: practices that want a structured pellet program with mentoring and are comfortable working within one supplier's protocols. Ask: the full cost of training and onboarding, any purchase minimums, and whether you can use other dosing approaches.

7. EVEXIAS

EVEXIAS Health Solutions trains providers on its EvexiPEL pellet methodology and adds protocol development, practice growth and business support. It also offers peptide therapy, thyroid support and a nutraceutical line. Pricing is not published; the site directs providers to a become-a-provider form.

Right for: practices that want pellet training, supplements and business coaching from one company. Ask: what you are required to purchase, the contract length, and how much of the training is clinical versus sales.

8. SottoPelle

SottoPelle teaches its pellet method through a one-day in-person course with insertion demonstrations, or online in 13 modules plus insertion videos, completed within five days. Separate training covers female, male and transgender hormone therapy and its Dosaggio dosing calculator. SottoPelle reports 1,000+ trained providers since 2002.

Published terms: its pricing page lists a Starter package at $295 a month (or $265 a month billed annually) with a 6-month license agreement, and a Standard package at $495 a month ($445 annually) that adds an account manager and marketing materials, as of October 2026. The training fee itself is not listed on the page we checked.

Right for: providers who want to see ongoing costs before a sales call. Ask: the one-time training fee, and what happens to your access if you cancel the monthly plan.

9. Pellecome

Pellecome runs a two-part course: 10 online modules on hormone optimization for men and women, then a single live day where each participant performs insertions on patients under a physician proctor. Training centers have been in California, Florida and New Jersey. It includes an eight-module online program for support staff and a consult-skills course, and its Re3 delivery device is sold to licensees, who Pellecome says have "no contracts and no procedural fees."

Right for: providers who want supervised insertions on live patients as part of training. Ask: the course fee, what licensee pricing looks like, and the next live training location.

Questions to ask any hormone therapy training program

1. Who accredits the CME, and how many credits is this course? Ask for the accreditor's name, not just "CME included."
2. Is the certificate a board certification? Most are a certificate of completion or a company credential, not an ABMS board. Know which one you are buying.
3. What am I required to buy afterward? Supplier programs often tie training to pellets, dosing software, supplements or a monthly license. Get the minimums and contract term in writing.
4. Does it cover my scope of practice? Prescribing rules for NPs and PAs, supervision, and who may insert pellets vary by state. Check with your state board, not the course.
5. What about controlled substances and compounded drugs? Testosterone is a Schedule III anabolic steroid under 21 CFR 1308.13, so you need the right DEA registration. The FDA states that "compounded drugs are not FDA-approved," which matters for how you consent patients and choose a pharmacy (FDA compounding Q&A).
6. How is follow-up taught? Look for lab monitoring schedules, recheck visits and when to refer, not just the first dose.
7. Is there support after the course? Ask who answers a dosing or side-effect question six months in, and whether that costs extra.

Where Prospyr fits

Hormone therapy runs on lab results, prescriptions and recurring visits. Whatever training you choose, check that your practice software can order and store labs, send prescriptions and bill a hormone program on a schedule. Prospyr handles lab ordering and memberships for this kind of service. If hormones sit next to IV therapy or weight loss in your practice, see our lists of IV therapy certification courses and medical weight loss certification. To see how it would work for you, book a practice demo.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a certification to offer BHRT or TRT?

No national BHRT or TRT certification is required by law; what you need is a license and scope of practice that allow you to prescribe, plus DEA registration for testosterone. Certificates from training companies show you completed a course. Your state board sets the actual rules, so check there first.

Is pellet training the same as hormone therapy training?

No. Pellet training focuses on one delivery method and insertion technique, often tied to one supplier. General hormone courses such as WorldLink's also cover creams, injections and oral options, labs and follow-up. Many providers take a general course first and add pellet training later.

Can nurse practitioners and PAs take these courses?

Yes, most programs on this list name NPs and PAs in their audience, and The Menopause Society's exam is open to all licensed clinicians. Whether you can prescribe and insert pellets on your own depends on your state's practice and supervision rules.

How much does hormone therapy training cost?

Published prices we found run to about $1,700 for a three-day BHRT course and $1,999 to $2,149 for an in-person pellet day, plus exam fees of $400 to $725. Supplier programs may add monthly fees; SottoPelle lists packages from $265 to $495 a month. Ask every program for the total first-year cost.
