Implementing a Women’s Cardiovascular Health Training Program in a Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship

Abstract

Sex- and gender-specific training for cardiovascular clinicians is essential to enhance knowledge and quality of women’s cardiovascular health care. In 2016, the University of Pennsylvania cardiovascular fellowship program established a dedicated women’s cardiovascular health curriculum, motivated by the fellow-in-training desire to gain formal and focused training in this emerging field.
