This graduate course examines the pathophysiology of women’s health through an integrative lens, with emphasis on the endocrine and reproductive systems across the lifespan. Students study the mechanisms underlying common hormonal, reproductive, and related conditions and connect those pathophysiological processes to integrative assessment and wellness strategies. The course provides the foundation for understanding women’s health through a whole-person perspective.
