From the wall to the web: the use of bulletin boards and a web site to disseminate information about sex, gender and women's health.

Abstract

Strategically placed bulletin boards were used to disseminate information about sex and gender biology and women's health competencies to medical students and faculty. This has proved to be an effective tool to rapidly introduce material when the curriculum cannot accommodate this new material. With the popularity of the internet, these bulletin boards were transferred to our website and became accessible to a greater audience both within and outside the medical center. This article describes the bulletin board sites, their content, and some of the benefits and problems visitors had.
