Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of mortality in women and is the leading cause of pregnancy-related mortality in Australia. This study aims to discover the extent of teaching regarding women's cardiovascular health in Australian and New Zealand medical schools. All 22 medical schools in Australia and New Zealand were approached for participation in completing this survey. Seven medical schools (32%) completed the survey and demonstrated that within our sample population, findings suggest that while women's cardiovascular health is present in medical curricula, there is a large variability in the rigour and depth as to which it is taught, as well as possible lack of explicit teaching and examination regarding this topic.
