Group on Educational Affairs (GEA)
Interdisciplinary Women's Health Care Education Special Interest Group
(SIG)
Purpose
The purpose of the Interdisciplinary Women's Health Care Education (IWHCE)
SIG is to convene a group of physicians and educators whose common interest
is interdisciplinary women's health care education, as well as to advocate
interdisciplinary activities for women's health education in medical schools
and teaching institutions throughout the country and enhance the commitment
to education in women's health care.
Forum
The Interdisciplinary Women's Health Care Education Special Interest
Group (SIG) will provide a forum for medical educators across all disciplines
to exchange ideas concerning women's health care education. The following
areas will be addressed by the SIG.
- Collect and exam current women's health curricula published by the
government, medical schools, and women's health organizations to assess
sources available to educators;
- Promote women's health issues that are not currently being addressed
in medical school curricula;
- Through the auspices of undergraduate medical organizations represented
by the Alliance for Clinical Education (ACE), survey interdisciplinary
medical educators on how women's health is being integrated within the
undergraduate medical curricula;
- Collaborate with other Group on Educational Affairs SIGs, such as
Faculty Development, to promote women's health faculty development activities.
If you would like information regarding the SIG please contact Cynthia
Woodard, cawoodard@aamc.org, Staff
Associate, Group on Educational Affairs, Association of American Medical
Colleges.
