Women's Health

The Collaborative Program in Women's Health provides interdisciplinary training in women's health research and practice for both Master’s and Doctoral students. The Program is designed to:

  • Help students develop a shared understandings of the complex interactions of biology and environment, sex and gender
  • Provide a shared skill set to undertake and lead interdisciplinary, collaborative health care research projects
  • Enhance mutually beneficial relationships among researchers and practitioners of women's health across the University and its affiliated teaching hospitals

One core course is required along with participation in a monthly seminar series and in the annual Graduate Student Research Day hosted by the Women’s College Research Institute. Students will develop a study plan (including a plan for their dissertation when required by their home participating unit) in conjunction with their graduate supervisor and a co-mentor from the Collaborative Program faculty.
