Abstract
The role of the women's health nurse practitioner (WHNP) has evolved since it was established in the early 1970s. However, the number of WHNP programs and graduates has declined significantly since the specialty's inception, partly because of the perception, and often the reality, that family nurse practitioners have more employment opportunities. This article reviews the evolution of the specialty. Strategies for maintaining the specialty and expertise in this practice area are examined. Considerations for creating opportunities for WHNPs are also discussed.
