Education and Outreach Initiatives
The Education Program is designed to provide a coordinated educational mechanism that supports the objectives of the Office of Women in Medicine and Science (OWIMS) {formerly the Women's Health Center of Excellence for Research, Leadership, Education}. The primary goal is to establish the OWIMS as one of the top model health centers in the country with respect to the education of students, health care providers, and the public on issues in women's health.
Community Outreach Programming: is designed to provide resources about women's health issues to the community, increase awareness of current trends in women's health, and promote events in partnership with other community groups to respond to community needs.

OWIMS is committed to the promotion of women’s health and we know that the recruitment of future top-notch researchers and physicians begins at the undergraduate level of college. OWIMS coordinates women's health internships between Wake Forest School of Medicine (WFSM) researchers and healthcare providers and undergraduate students from area colleges who are looking for projects for course credit and/or experience in women's health or gender differences research. To inquire about submitting or applying for an internship project, please review our internship opportunities page.
