Medication Abortion and Reproductive Justice Practice Integration for Advanced Practice Clinicians

Wouldn't it be great if patients could get their full-scope reproductive health care from their Advanced Practice Clinician (APC)?

Imagine how complications and costs could be reduced if abortion care was available early and locally.

Are you interested in providing medication abortion as part of your clinical practice but not sure where to start?

Ever wonder how you could better integrate reproductive justice into your clinical practice and patient interactions?

Did you hear that UIC recently received a grant to train and mentor APCs to provide and integrate abortion care into their practices and want to find out more?

This one-day conference is for you.

Learning Objectives:
