Women's Health Care Studies Programs

Clinical Practice


A central strength of the Women's Health Care Studies Programs is faculty involvement in clinical practice. In any given year, the majority of faculty are in practice. This enables each individual to consistently grow in their profession through keeping abreast of the latest evidence supporting safe clinical practice. In addition, the ongoing clinical experience enables the faculty to generate pertinent questions for research regarding the health care of women and their families.

Current faculty practice includes opportunities to work with teenagers, assist women from immigrant communities, consult on public health projects, perform ultrasounds and antenatal testing, and practice both obstetrics and gynecology. The Penn WHCS faculty has a strong history of research and publications, all of which grow out of their clinical practice.
