Culminating in its 2022 launch, the Departments of Obstetrics & Gynaecology and Pediatrics collaborated on the development of an umbrella program for graduate student training in Women+ and Children’s Health Sciences (WACH).

The term Women+ embraces women, transgender, and non-binary individuals.

If you would like additional information on this exciting program please email the WACH Program Manager.


The WACH program utilizes an umbrella style framework to capacitate a cross pillar program and facilitate the development of translational investigators. It provides for a foundational curriculum for all graduate students, followed by more focused work in one stream, such as Women+ Health, or Children’s Health, or Reproductive and Developmental Sciences (RDS).
