Why does Reproductive Health Mentorship matter?
Tomorrows physicians are looking for the training and knowledge to completely care for their patients reproductive needs.
Medical students who envision becoming trained abortion providers often dont know what settings are available to practice in, what factors exist in the U.S. today surrounding abortion care, or what life is like as an abortion provider in context of choosing a specialty and career path.
On the other hand, the world of abortion provision is a close-knit society and clinicians with this experience are often eager for the chance to share their knowledge and equip future physicians to enter the field.
We hope that this program will be one step towards creating better outcomes for patients in need of complete and accessible reproductive healthcare, through strengthening our community.
