Description
Summary:•This research interest group leads the way on sex- and gender-specific care.•Projects link practice and policy to research, through collaboration and mentorship.•Future endeavors will focus on the changing culture and role of active duty women. The Military Women's Health Research Interest Group (MWHRIG) was established in 2010. The purpose of the MWHRIG is to support military clinicians and leaders in determining research priorities, and making evidence-based practice and policy decisions relevant to sex- and gender-appropriate healthcare. This article highlights the history of the MWHRIG, and current activities inclusive of research, mentorship, and collaboration. Future activities for the MWHRIG will focus on continued use of a theoretical framework for military women's health research, inclusivity of gender sexual diversity (GSD), and metrics for future success.
