Women's Health Education Program

National Center of Excellence in Women's Health

Drexel University College of Medicine’s Women’s Health Education Program (WHEP), part of the Department of Medicine, is one of six original National Centers of Excellence in Women’s Health awarded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office on Women's Health.  WHEP is committed to advocating for women’s health issues in medicine.  Our efforts are directed toward long and short term change, with the hope that the future physicians we train will view women’s health as a fundamental element of medical care that is more than reproductive health.

Our mission is to innovate, educate, advocate and integrate by preparing tomorrow’s physicians for excellence in health care delivery to all women across the lifespan. 

Our goal is to train medical students to be physicians who treat patients holistically and are active listeners who integrate new knowledge with clinical care.
