Resources for teaching about women's health

Given the interdisciplinary quality of women's health, a unique collection of resources is required to provide a practical, evidence-based presentation of the relevant topics. While some students and residents have sought more intensive women's health education from special electives and fellowships, most physicians will not receive their primary instruction about women's health from a specially dedicated course. Therefore, teachers in a broad variety of settings from ambulatory precepting sites to basic science courses will be responsible for planning educational experiences that will integrate women's health issues. This paper provides reviews of 19 teaching tools about women's health ranging from general curricula to books, videos, and CD-ROMs that can be used by educators and learners throughout the continuum of medical education.
