Curbside Consults Podcast
Published March 31, 2021
Welcome to another episode of Curbside Consults! As part of our series on Inclusivity in Medicine and to honor Women’s History Month, we are focusing on women in clinical trials. We are joined by Dr. Janine Clayton, an ophthalmologist and Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research on Women’s Health (ORWH) and co-chair of the NIH Working Group on Women in Biomedical Careers.
To get started on this topic, see the NIH ORWH E-Learning courses on sex and gender-related differences in health.
