Letter to the Editor
On “Women’s Health Curriculum for Medical Students”
Abstract
To the Editor: We would like to sincerely thank Sattari et al for their insightful piece on developing a diverse women’s health elective for medical students.1 As future doctors studying in a time of change from paternalistic to patient-centered medicine, we believe it is important that we empower female patients into making educated decisions about their lives, other than just the gynecological and obstetric aspects of them.This content is limited to qualifying members.
