One world, one woman: a transformational leader's approach to primary ovarian insufficiency

Lectureship endowment funds are created to honor major contributions that have clearly advanced a field. Such was the case in the creation of the Wulf H. Utian Endowed Lectureship Fund. In some select cases, they recognize the contributions of a transformational leader. The express purpose of the fund is to provide travel to the Annual Meeting by a lecturer selected by The North American Menopause Society Scientific Program Committee. Wulf H. Utian changed the paradigm for menopause by creating an organization whose major purpose was to use an integrated approach to the condition. Such an approach would benefit many areas of health care. This report summarizes my thoughts on how such an integrated approach might advance the field of primary ovarian insufficiency.
