Abstract

Beginning with this issue of the Southern Medical Journal, we will feature a series of articles from the University of Mississippi Medical Center on specific medical aspects of women’s health. This series was developed and edited by Stephen Geraci, MD, the Journal’s Assistant Editor for Medicine and Medical Specialties. His series will appear in issues throughout the remainder of 2013 and perhaps into early 2014. We are indebted to Dr Geraci and his coauthors for their excellent efforts. These articles address medical aspects of particular importance to women’s health, some of which may have unique implications for female patients being cared for by a wide range of physician specialties.
