You’ll address issues such as research gaps in women’s health, the need for public policy evaluation and advocacy, and how technology can improve the medical lives of women around the world.
This minor is based on advanced practice nursing and midwifery theory, but is open to all Penn graduate students with a strong interest in women’s health.
