Sociocultural Patterns; *Womens Studies ABSTRACT Curriculum developm nt in women s health has undergone a transformation over the past 15 years based on the availability of teaching resources. Today, therange of resources for curriculum development in women's health is more intimidating than elusive. While there has been a virtual explosion of both popular and scholarly research and writing in the many areas of women's health, there has been a dearth of materials on developing curricula inthese areas. This volume is designed for use by faculty in undergraduate, graduate, and health professions and educational institutions who wish to initiate or ezpand their curriculum in women's health. The materials in this volume are largely edited versions ofpapers originally presented at three Summer Instituteson Women, Health, and Healing organized by the Women, Health and Healing Program of the University of CaliforniaSan Francisco. The primary focus of these working papers on curricUlum development in women's health studies is on the development and enhancement of curricula through the integration of social science perspectiveson women's health, through the integration of minority women's health issues, and through addressing issues at the intersection of social science and clinical concerns.
