A steadily growing body of research over decades demonstrates the value of studying the health of women and how sex and gender influence health. These findings cover a wide variety of diseases and conditions and include sex-and-gender differences in prevalence, risk factors, how diseases and conditions develop over time, and the safety and efficacy of treatments.
However, medical students are not widely taught this data-based information. Women’s Health Research at Yale and Yale School of Medicine’s (YSM’s) Office of Education are changing this.

Marjorie Rosenthal, MD 95, MPH, associate professor in pediatrics, died of colon cancer on December 1, 2020. Colleagues at Yale School of Medicine considered her a truly remarkable colleague, friend, mentor, pediatrician, advocate, and mother, who lived her life to the fullest. Her impact on the New Haven community, the School of Medicine, and her mentees cannot be overstated.
Rosenthal, known as Margi, was born on March 25, 1967, in Boston, and grew up in Newton, Mass. She went to Newton South High School and graduated from Harvard/Radcliffe College with a degree in social studies, and received her medical degree from Yale School of Medicine. She completed her residency in pediatrics at Johns Hopkins, received her Master of Public Health from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and completed the Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholars Fellowship at UNC and Yale.
