FAMP 710B Reproductive Health in Family Medicine

Credits: 2
This elective will focus on the student’s development of knowledge and skills in the area of reproductive health, including contraception and routine clinical preventive services; with potential to include early pregnancy ultrasound, miscarriage management, and abortions. The student will work with faculty during their clinic hours at Family Medicine clinics and during South Waterfront’s Reproductive Health Friday morning clinic. The student will have self-study time to review core literature in the field (provided by the faculty), identify target quality benchmarks at either the state or national level, and the interplay of routine clinical and public health programs in the provision of reproductive health. The student will complete a brief educational activity based on a clinical case and present to faculty (e.g., short presentation, evidence summary). This may be included in the Department of Family Medicine’s Reproductive Health Newsletter, if the student elects this option. The elective will allow the student to explore the breadth of reproductive healthcare services provided to patients in a Family Medicine outpatient setting.
