Description: Intrauterine contraception can be used safely in almost all women, creating the potential to dramatically reduce the unintended pregnancy rate in the United States. Learn more by attending this training covering efficacy, side effects, appropriate candidates, and strategies for meaningful dialogue between providers and patients about intrauterine contraception.

The training will include a didactic lecture featuring a peer-review curriculum, along with a hands-on practicum with the three methods of intrauterine contraception available in the United States.
