Audioconference participants will explore the evidence for potential benefits and risks of testosterone treatment of elderly men and will hear the faculty's recommendations about how a physician should approach an elderly man who might be hypogonadal. An opportunity for questions and comments will be provided following faculty presentations. Participation in this audioconference is free and open to members of the press.
