The Specialization’s goals to:

• Help students develop shared understandings of the complex interactions among women¹ of biology and environment, sex and gender;
• Provide students with the necessary skill set to undertake and lead interdisciplinary, collaborative research projects in women’s health; and
• Enhance mutually beneficial relationships among researchers and practitioners focused on women’s health across the university and its affiliated teaching hospitals.

_{¹ “Women” refers to a broad gender categorization that does not necessarily correlate with one’s sex assigned at birth. We use the term therefore to include all those who self-identify as women, including cisgender women, transgender women, intersex women, and two-spirited women (Sly Castaldi, 2015).}
