Women’s healthcare including preventive care, obstetric care, and family planning and counseling are important medical education topics that student physicians frequently encounter during their Family Medicine Clerkship in medical training; however, despite its brief emphasis, many students feel underprepared to counsel patients in a clinical setting. With this in mind, a case-based curriculum focused on women’s health was developed for students enrolled in the Family Medicine Clerkship.  Methods: During the 2018-2019 academic year, 127 students on the Family Medicine Clerkship at the Florida International University Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine (HWCOM) participated in three two-hour sessions on the topics of adolescent preventive health care, obstetric care, and contraceptive counseling. These sessions incorporated cases, role-play activities, and pre-session readings. An optional, anonymous, paper-based pre-session survey of Likert-type questions was administered prior to the first session and a post-session survey of Likert-type questions was given following the final session. IRB exemption was obtained.  Results: The pre-session survey showed that 41.67% of students agreed or strongly agreed that they were confident in their ability to perform female contraceptive counseling. After the sessions, 92.68% of students agreed or strongly agreed that the case addressing contraceptive counseling was of clinical value to their learning needs. Conclusion: Given that less than half of the students felt confident in their counseling abilities prior to these sessions, this curriculum is potentially addressing an unmet educational need. Students found this session to be relevant, indicating that a case-based discussion curriculum that incorporates both pre-session reading materials and role-play interactions may be a promising educational approach.
