Tentative Schedule for 2023-2024

Our organization aims to bring awareness to and advocate for women in the health care setting and beyond. We plan to provide service to supplement students learning activities through things such as partnering with CTAC to host a gynecological and breast examination practice lab and hopefully further utilizing our on campus ultrasound machines to better learn how to use them in our future practice. We plan to provide service to our community through activities such as partnering with and donating to a local women's shelter through period products drives.
