SWHPN Special Interest Groups

Our Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are one of our very best SWHPN member benefits, giving SWHPN members the opportunity to meet about issues that align to their interests or area of practice. SIGs meet once monthly and you can participate in your SIG's listserv to share real-time resources and updates. SIGs establish deeper learning and networking opportunities for our 1100+ members beyond our general offerings.

Note these meetings are for current SWHPN members only. Please sign up here to access each group on our Community of Practice and to receive notifications about group meeting times and updates.
