Abstract
The integration of new knowledge into the medical school curriculum is a difficult process. This article proposes effective strategies for overcoming obstacles to curricular integration of women's health
and sex and gender topics. Some techniques developed to overcome barriers to the integration of new material into an existing curriculum include faculty development, faculty rewards, development of competencies
and assessment tools, interdisciplinary team teaching, standardized patients, and reference resources. An interdisciplinary approach to implementing women's health education, as with most new curricular
material, is endorsed for integration of the new field into the medical school curriculum. This proposed model results in general institutional participation and support, especially from senior level leadership.
The outlined process enables students and faculty to learn techniques for incorporating emerging information in all disciplines, helping them to become "life-long learners."
