Women's Health / GSRH EOR: 2026 blueprint changes
The PAEA Women's Health EOR is renamed “Gynecologic, Sexual, and Reproductive Health” (GSRH) for 2026 and reorganized around anatomical/reproductive systems, with new content areas for fertility and sexual health and a new Professional Practice task area. (FirstPassPA's OB/GYN and Women's Health rotations both map to this single exam.)
PAEA releases the updated exams on July 27, 2026; legacy versions remain available through July 2027, so programs can transition on their own timeline.
A new Professional Practice task area (8%) was added to this exam (Health Maintenance is retained).
The exam was renamed from “Women's Health” to “Gynecologic, Sexual, and Reproductive Health (GSRH).”
