About
Megan Kershner, MSN, APRN, AGNP-C, MSCP, is a Defy Medical nurse practitioner focused on hormone replacement therapy and menopause care. She earned her MSN from the University of South Florida in 2021 and holds the AGNP-C credential for adult-gerontology nurse practitioner practice. Her most distinctive published credential is MSCP, Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, issued by The Menopause Society. She is also certified by Biote to place HRT pellets and is pursuing continuing education in HRT, diabetes, and functional nutrition.
What to Know
Signature approach
Kershner's profile is strongest for adults navigating menopause, hormone symptoms, and HRT delivery decisions. The MSCP credential supports menopause-specific assessment, while AGNP-C training covers adult primary-care context. Biote pellet certification adds a lower-frequency HRT delivery option for patients who want to discuss pellets alongside standard BHRT formats.
What sets them apart
- Menopause Society Certified Practitioner. MSCP is a meaningful menopause-care credential and stands out on a hormone roster.
- Biote pellet certification. She can discuss pellet-based HRT alongside injections, creams, oral options, or other Defy protocols.
- Adult-gerontology training. AGNP-C scope aligns with adult hormone, aging, and metabolic care.
Before You Book
- Use her menopause credential intentionally. Her MSCP credential is especially relevant for menopause and adult hormone questions.
- Ask about pellet suitability. Pellet therapy is not the right delivery format for every patient, and in-person logistics may apply.
- Confirm provider assignment. Request Kershner by name if MSCP experience is the reason you are booking.
- Budget through Defy. Labs, consults, medications, and add-ons are self-pay.
