Women's health curriculum at Stanford
1Stanford University, USA.
Abstract:
As health care for women receives national attention, medical educators have come under increasing pressure to train physicians to provide optimal care for their female patients. Stanford University has responded by creating a clerkship in women's health. This interdisciplinary clerkship is two or four weeks and explores women's health chronologically from adolescence to old age. Students enjoy both didactic and clinical experiences, and learn about such topics as violence against women, prevention, and breast, sexual, mental, and cardiovascular health. This clerkship is currently elective, with the hope that it will become part of the required curriculum.

Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle
At puberty, GnRH begins a pulsatile release pattern, which triggers the anterior pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The frequency and amplitude of GnRH pulses vary across the menstrual cycle, with faster pulses favoring LH release and slower pulses favoring FSH release.
