• Women's health nurses provide well-woman care, family planning services, pre-conception, prenatal and antepartum/postpartum care, treatment of acute and chronic illnesses, management of sexually transmitted diseases, mental health and eating disorders, and care during perimenopause and menopause.
• Advanced practice nurses in women’s health may also subspecialize in areas such as infertility, cardiovascular health, oncology, geriatrics, endocrinology, urogynecology, bone health, and high-risk pregnancy.
• Advanced practice nurses conduct history and physical exams; diagnose and administer treatments; prescribe medications; provide primary and specialty care; and play a vital role in patient education.

Those who specialize in women’s health may work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, antepartum triage units, long-term care, primary care clinics/offices, community health centers, school and university clinics, health departments, and employee health settings.

A profession in women’s health not only requires an understanding of the female anatomy and physiology, but also a broad knowledge of gender-focused health assessment, education, and interventions.
