Dr. Regula E. Bürki is an experienced gynecologist, speaker, and educator with a career spanning Switzerland and the United States. A native of Bern, she studied medicine in her hometown before advancing her gynecological training at Harvard University.

She spent 22 years in Salt Lake City running a private practice, where she cared for a wide range of patients while also contributing to the clinical faculty at the University of Utah. Her work combined hands-on patient care with teaching, giving her a deep understanding of how to communicate complex medical topics in a clear and meaningful way.
Dr. Bürki has played an active role in leading professional organizations within her field. She is a founding member of the North American Menopause Society and has served as chair of the Utah section of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

Her presentations are grounded in evidence while remaining accessible. She focuses on giving audiences knowledge they can use, whether they are healthcare professionals or individuals seeking to better understand their health.

Since returning to Bern in 2005, Dr. Bürki has continued her clinical work as a practicing gynecologist. Since 2022, she has worked at a reduced capacity, allowing her to focus more on education and outreach.

Keynote by Dr. Regula E. Bürki:
Perimenopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, sweating at inappropriate times, problems sleeping, brain fog – problems concentrating, remembering and making executive decisions, can begin many years before the actual menopause, the cessation of periods.
Surveys show that this has a negative (and for their employers costly) impact on women in all branches of industry.
With appropriate guidance and targeted therapies perimenopausal symptoms can be managed successfully to the benefit of all stakeholders.
Dr. Burki explains perimenopause, its impact and symptoms, and how to treat it with and without hormones. Q&A session.
Keynote by Dr. Regula E. Bürki:
Midlife sleeping problems are a common issue for women, often compounded by high levels of stress. The impact can be significant, especially for women in positions of high trust and responsibility and in leadership, who need to be at the top of their game at all times.
Dr. Burki explains the impact of midlife hormonal changes and stress on the brain centers regulating mood and sleep and anxiety, and ways to mitigate their impact. Q&A session.
