Resource Network: Women's Health Curriculum Models

The Women's Health Curriculum Models offers faculty the opportunity to refer to various academic programs for ideas in designing their own programs.

Listed below is a brief abstract of each school's curriculum, contact information and some links to schools or programs for more information.

Cultural Competency in Women's Health Project: This model curriculum is designed to train health care providers about the unique needs of minority and other underserved women. The curriculum can be adopted for use in multiple educational settings within academic medical institutions, including the centers of Excellence in Women's Health, as well as in other health care arenas.

We are interested in displaying other samples of unique women's health curricula, including:

• Adding free-standing courses to existing curricula, for example, elective courses in the fourth-year;
• Assigning women's health segments into existing courses; and
• Creating new interdisciplinary curricula that can be integrated into the general curriculum.

Any school interested in sharing its curriculum on this page is welcome. Please contact the WHEO office.
