Women’s Health


The Women’s Health Clinic offers students interested in obstetrics and gynecology an opportunity to familiarize themselves with common conditions in a clinic setting. Volunteers will learn what labs, immunizations, and supplies are needed day to day. Clinic volunteers are responsible for obtaining health histories, presenting cases to the provider, and documenting visits in the patient’s medical record. Volunteering provides an avenue for future students interested in obstetrics and gynecology a way to give back to the community doing something they are passionate about.
