What the literature leaves open

  • Women's health involves discussing topics like menstruation, pregnancy, sexual function, and intimate medical procedures that some students find uncomfortable. There is a need to establish guidelines for respectful and professional discussion, and to set expectations early that the course covers sensitive topics.
