Keynote Lecture: Testosterone, Science, and Human Dignity

Abraham Morgentaler, MD, FACS

Associate Professor, Harvard Medical School; Staff, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center

In this lecture I will share lessons I have learned over 30 years of research and clinical work using testosterone therapy. Those lessons include understanding why testosterone use was almost non-existent for more than 60 years, why it continues to be mistrusted by mainstream medicine, and how study results showing efficacy and safety are distorted by the media. Most importantly, by sharing several unique cases from my practice I will show how the key to being a great healthcare provider is by optimizing quality of life for individual patients.
