INTRODUCTION: Disparities in women's health have been identified in clinical outcomes, research, and medical education. However, women's health education remains inconsistent in internal medicine training. Longitudinal women's health training tracks have proven positive impacts on trainees' confidence with women's health clinical practice, and graduates of these tracks go on to become leaders who further expand these efforts. Our objective was to update the 2023 Directory of Internal Medicine Residency and Fellowship Programs in Women's Health to provide trainees and clinician educators with a centralized list of U.S. internal medicine residency and fellowship women's health training programs.
METHODS: We contacted women's health education program leaders from the 2023 directory to update their program information. We sent a recruitment email to the Sex-and Gender-Based Women's Health Education Interest Group listserv of the Society of General Internal Medicine and used snowball sampling to identify new programs. New program leaders were sent an electronic Qualtrics survey to confirm current program status, contact information, website, capacity, educational offerings, and program highlights.
RESULTS: This directory describes 29 graduate medical education training programs in women's health for internists, with 12 residency programs and 17 fellowship programs identified. This is an overall increase from the 25 programs in the 2023 directory.
DISCUSSION: This directory is a practical resource for trainees seeking educational experiences and for medical educators seeking opportunities for collaboration and leadership in women's health. The increase in training opportunities is a step toward comprehensive medical education and equitable, high-quality care and research in women's health.
