The Institute for Women's Health Research is exploring and implementing new ways to enhance training at all levels - students, residents and fellow - to ensure that they have a working knowledge of the sex and gender determinants of health and disease. Women's health mentors are being identified and supported to develop and sustain leadership roles for women scientists and clinicians. We are also invested and committed to provide learning experiences in laboratory and clinical settings for consumers of all ages who are interested in science and health.
Monthly Forums
The Institute for Women's Health Research offers the Women's Health Research Monthly Forum. This is a one-hour educational program, during lunchtime, to feature professionals from Northwestern University and other institutions across the nation to present basic science research, clinical research, and social implications related to sexual dimorphisms. The Monthly Forum is a dynamic venue to encourage more sex- and gender-based studies and to provide support and role models for emerging women's health scholars.
