                     FSU COLLEGE OF MEDICINE, AMWA SPONSORING WOMEN’S HEALTH DAY

The Florida State University College of Medicine and the FSU Chapter of the American Medical Women’s Association will sponsor FSU Women’s Health Day, a free health education and resource event for the FSU community.  Envisioned and coordinated by FSU medical students, the event will focus on five health aspects – physical, clinical, mental, sexual and financial – identified in a survey of undergraduate women as topics they’d like to know more about. Though geared toward women, everyone is encouraged to participate.

This won’t be your traditional health class. Faculty from across the university and community health professionals will lead lively presentations and games, including a Jeopardy!-style game with general health questions, a Wheel of Contraception game focusing on different methods of birth control, and games to teach students about nutrition and financial awareness including debt, credit, entrepreneurship and investing. Undergrad dance clubs, including salsa, swing and belly dancing, will show how to have fun while improving physical health.

Health services will also be available, including blood pressure and heart rate checks by College of Nursing students and HIV screenings by the Neighborhood Medical Center.  University Health Services will provide flu shots, with FSU competing with the University of Florida to see which school can provide the most.

FSU Women’s Health Day will be held:

MONDAY, OCT. 17

10 A.M. to 4 P.M.
