Women's Health

Facing the ever-expanding volume of scientific knowledge and limits on the time for assimilation, the eleven medical schools in Australia and the two in New Zealand have collaborated to create the Women's Health Collaborative Core Curriculum. Although initially created as a teaching aid for undergraduate medical students the future vision is the development of a website with resources for any healthcare worker involved in Women's Health.
