The Women's Health Track is an option available in
the Primary Care Track that provides primary care
training with an additional focus in women's health.
Residents receive gender-specific training that allows
the provision of comprehensive health care to women, in
addition to a solid foundation in all the traditional
aspects of Internal Medicine. A maximum of two Primary
Care Track R-1 positions may be accommodated to
participate in the Women's Health curriculum per year.
One of the key differences of the Primary Care Track,
offered in the Women's Health Track, is a GYN continuity
clinic scheduled every other week, alternating with the
typical residents' Primary Care Clinic. Approximately
30-50% of the ambulatory block rotation may be spent in
women's health areas, including specialty clinics:
gynecology, high risk OB, HIV, breast, osteoporosis,
continence, STDs, endocrine, cosmetic surgery, and
eating disorders.
