Clerkship directors have an opportunity to develop consensus on learning objectives for women's health issues and to develop curricula that cross disciplinary boundaries. A collaborative interdisciplinary approach assures proper sequencing of knowledge and skill acquisition, conserves educational resources, and reflects the values of connectedness and patient-centeredness that are central to women's health. The informal networks and the institutional structures that bring clerkship directors together for discussion of a variety of educational issues promote such collaboration. The authors describe three approaches to designing and implementing women's health curricula and discuss how each might be applied to the topic of domestic violence: adding free-standing courses to existing curricula, often as electives; delegating pieces of the women's health curriculum to existing courses; and creating new interdisciplinary curricula that then are integrated into the general curriculum. Each has advantages and disadvantages. Ideally, models for curriculum design will reflect the collaborative patient-centered models upon which the field of women's health is based. Such models enhance program effectiveness by taking advantage of discipline-based expertise while allowing for the sharing of both educational responsibilities and educational resources.
