For applicants who are passionate about women's health, gender disparities, and patient-centered innovative care, the Women’s Health in Internal Medicine (WHIM) Track is your launchpad. Designed to integrate advanced training, scholarly development, and career mentorship, WHIM transforms residents into confident clinicians and leaders in gender-informed medicine.

The senior-level track begins in the PGY-2 academic year, with early engagement during the PGY-1 year.  Interactive didactics include gender-focused grand rounds and journal clubs. The curriculum explores sex and gender differences in chronic disease. The longitudinal training includes areas such as breast health, gynecology/urogynecology, menopause and sexual health, dermatology, cardio-metabolic health, endocrinology, and pelvic floor therapy. Participants will also gain hands-on procedural experience with IUDs, Nexplanon, and endometrial biopsies.

The four pillars of this track include dedicated rotations early in the PGY-2 year in women’s health, quarterly half-day protected didactic and experiential teaching sessions with women’s health experts, a dedicated ambulatory clinic week template to include 20 half-days per year of clinical time in women’s health specialties, and mentorship, including research mentorship.

The program offers an academic and career boost through faculty-mentored research and quality improvement projects. Participants are supported in presenting at national conferences, including the Menopause Society, the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health, and the Society of General Internal Medicine. Additionally, there is support available for Menopause Society certification. The incredible faculty who serve as resident mentors in this track are featured in the faculty section of the Women’s Health Fellowship website at Mayo Clinic in Florida.

WHIM track participants will be well positioned to pursue various paths, including academic general internal medicine, women’s health fellowships, gender-specific primary care, subspecialty training with a women's health focus, and leadership roles in public health and health equity.
