ABSTRACT
Our goal in this paper is twofold. First, it provides a brief overview of the macrotrends in women's health education over the last 25 years. Second, these trends are a backdrop for a discussion of women's health education as exemplified by a detailed review of the curriculum for the Women's Health fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. We have termed the underpinning of the curriculum the "leadership triad" consisting of (1) clinical skills, (2) focused research, and (3) interdisciplinary education. These elements are presented in a detailed curriculum for a 2-year fellowship program. We see these elements as fundamental to the Cleveland Clinic's fellowship program, and a useful model for those contemplating or refining their advanced women's health curriculum.
