How CHOICES Keeps the Torch of Women’s Healthcare Blazing

CHOICES Women’s Medical Center has a multitude of programs to help develop health care professionals with the best medical knowledge and understanding of women’s reproductive health needs and a passion for serving them. We believe hands-on experience in a top-rated healthcare environment is the best way to do this, and to that end have developed working relationships with hospitals, schools, and organizations to train their doctors, medical workers, and students.

CHOICES Clinical and Medical Interns work with staff as they provide the finest quality care to our patients, as well as become acquainted with community organizations and services we interact with. Medical Education students work with our Education and Community Outreach programs and become knowledgeable about reproductive health issues.

Facilities and organizations we work with include:

Ace Institute of Technology – CHOICES collaborates with Ace Institute of Technology to host Diagnostic Medical Sonography interns, enhancing their expertise in performing sonography for gynecology, prenatal care, and abortion patients.
