Student comments about WHEP

“WHEP provides a unique opportunity for students to get involved in research, curricular reform, seminar series and current issues in women’s health.  But more than that, the office offers a supportive environment and excellent role models to aid your journey through medical school.” 
– Amie Miklavcic, M.D.

“The Women’s Health Education Program has opened my eyes to many health issues that women face.  Being a woman myself, I was unaware of a lot of things, and definitely realize the importance of a women’s health education program now.  The differences between health care for men and for women are numerous and need to be sufficiently addressed appropriately for each patient.  The WHEP has shown me this and opened the door to a whole world of health care I didn’t realize existed.”

– Marin Mercurius, M.D.

“The Women’s Health Seminar Series is a fabulous way to bring up sex and gender differences in medicine that aren’t often brought up elsewhere.
– Michelle Orengo-McFarlane, Class of 2007

“Women’s health is not only for women!  Male M.D.'s will be seeing women’s health issues and need to be aware of some of these issues.”

“This is a great place.  I’ve gotten to interact with students from other years and programs and to think beyond the immediate problems of school, and think about what medicine can do and what I want to do in medicine.”
