Janice Werbinski is board certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology. She is the Medical Director of Borgess Women's Health, a clinical practice of 25 providers in Kalamazoo, MI, delivering healthcare to thousands of women across their lifespan. She is also the Founding President of the American College of Women's Health Physicians.
She has been an Associate Clinical Professor in OBGyn at Michigan State University's College of Human Medicine since 1976. In 1995, she authored the curriculum for the Women's Health Track in the MSU Internal Medicine Residency Program, and she has taught the Advanced Women's Health month to senior residents in that program ever since. A copy of the description of the curriculum is buried in a time capsule of at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD, signifying its importance as an early effort to introduce gender specific research into the clinical practice of Women's Health.
Since 2008, she has served as the Chair of the Women's Health Working Group of the American Medical Women's Association, and through that appointment she has been instrumental in the establishment of "Advancing Women's Health," a project in collaboration with the American College of Women's Health Physicians. This project, at www.AdvancingWomensHealth.org, has the goal of collecting Women's Health curricular materials into a universally accessible digital library, which will increase the knowledge base of students, faculty, and all providers who take care of women, translating our wealth of sex- and gender- specific research into the clinical practice of providers who care for women, and ultimately improving the health and well-being of all women.
"I have belonged to AMWA for over 15 years, and I find it to be a comfortable place in which to share ideas, mentor others, network with other professional women, and feel accepted, never having to prove my 'worth' as a woman in a man's world."
