Book description

Neither legalization of abortion nor scientific and political advances in contraception and abortion ensure that training and research in family planning are routinely integrated into medical education. Without integration, subsequent generations of healthcare professionals are not prepared to incorporate evidence-based family planning into their practices, teaching, or research. Omission of this crucial component prevents the cultural and professional normalization of an often stigmatized and embattled aspect of women's health. Taking the successful US-based Ryan and Family Planning Fellowship programs as templates for training, teaching, and academic leadership, this book describes the integration of family planning and pregnancy termination into curricula with an international outlook. With an evidence- and systems-based approach, the book is a unique and practical guide to inspire and train the next generation of healthcare professionals.

Reviews

'Simply outstanding! This multi-authored book chronicles the remarkable sea change in abortion and contraception education that has occurred in the US - and around the world. Thoroughly referenced, and illustrated with photos, graphs, and flow charts, the book provides a roadmap for policymakers, educators, and clinicians. After half a century in the family planning field, I believe that no comparable text exists. This book describes pragmatic, proven paths to improving women’s reproductive health through education. It will prove essential for leaders at the local hospital, state, and national level.'

David A. Grimes - MD, Clinical Professor, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of North Carolina School of Medicine

'Landy and colleagues provide a rare comprehensive description and evaluation of their evidence- and system-based Reproductive Health educational programs. Their truly international Family Planning and Reproductive Health program has demonstrated sustainable public health benefits for girls and women. Their book could be carefully read and used as a roadmap and model by anyone interested in engagement in a major project in the health or medical education space.'

‘This book is an important addition to medical education literature because it provides a unique perspective on medical education, family planning, and abortion services in the U.S. and abroad.’
