Care of the female sailor requires education on specific women’s health issues. The Women’s Health Seminar is a 2 day, live, Navy-specific virtual women’s health training program. It is specifically designed for operational clinicians including General Medical Officers, Flight Surgeons, Undersea Medical Officers, Operational Medical Officers, and Independent Duty Corpsmen.
