Abstract

Women's preventive health issues are frequently encountered in the outpatient setting. Many general internists feel uncomfortable meeting the needs of women due to a general lack of knowledge of women's health and inadequate training in the evaluation of female-specific care. In this article, the authors summarize evidence-based guidelines for preventive health and immunizations for women.
