Congratulations to DUCOM class of 2014!

Today, after four years of hard work (and many more preceding) Drexel University College of Medicine's class of 2014 got their degrees! WHEP congratulates you and we are happy to call you all doctors! Good luck on the journey ahead and never forget the valuable things you learned as a student at DUCOM!

A Special shout out goes to our pathway students! the students in the class of 2014 are truly special and all have great things in store for them. We are glad to have provided support for the last leg of your race. Go show the world what you are made of!

This week is National Women's Health Week!

Women's Health Week is May 11th-17th. It is a time to reflect on the advances that have been made in women's health, while focusing on the many areas that still need attention. It can also serve as a reminder for all women to check your health. Are you up to date on all of your primary care visits? Is there a concern that you've been meaning to get checked out? Is there a bad habit that you would like to quit? Don't wait! Now is the time to take charge of your health! If you are worried about the cost of a doctors visit, the ACA has made yearly check up's for women more affordable and on many health plans, completely free.

This week serves as a great reminder to stay healthy, but don't forget, it is important for women and the people around them to be concerned for their health everyday!
