Medical College of Wisconsin Internal Medicine Residency Women's Health Track

Physicians Hall Front

The Women’s Health Track within the MCW Internal Medicine Residency aims to offer interested residents an opportunity to develop their knowledge and skill in the care of women including in addressing sex-specific conditions and those that are more common or present differently in women.

The track is open to residents including categorical and ambulatory residents. Residents will graduate from the program as excellent internists with expertise in women’s health and ready for fellowship or careers as general internists. Residents join in their PGY1 or PGY2 year.

There are also opportunities to learn women’s health procedures such as IUD and subdermal contraceptive insertion and removal.
