Professional Education

Led by Director Lynn Westphal, MD, and Executive Director, Jim Batterson, Women's Health @ Stanford is actively committed to enhancing professional education, including these special training programs :

BIRCWH - Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women's Health

WRHR - Women's Reproductive Health Research

Continuing Medical Education Symposia

The Littlefield Women's Health Medical Forum

                                             
                                                                                                                                    
Women’s Health strives constantly to expand and improve on professional education in women’s health. We seek to aid in the training of professionals who will do the necessary gender-based research towards providing the preventive care and therapies needed by women in our society.  A new paradigm for understanding, preventing, and treating the health problems of women can be created by training physician-researchers across disciplines and
across the life span.                                            

Women's Health is taking an active role in facilitating the training of scientists who can pursue both basic and clinical research into disease processes in women.  It is anticipated that these trainees will become independent investigators in basic, translational, and clinical research relevant to women’s health, who will continue to focus their careers on expanding knowledge of health in women across the life span.
