Hi Jack. Thank you. Please email me at the attached email address if you have any specific thoughts or comments! Thanks! Komal
This is such an important training area - particularly as we have minimized or dismissed the potential harms for oral contraceptives for women. I really hope you continue in this area and work to improve access/willingness to engage in this training.
Thank you Gillian. Totally agree. Thank you for taking the time to look at our research poster
Great within the limitations of your single program. Training clinicians to perform procedures and doing research on that training can both be challenging. Because of the limitations you face, it may be unrealistic to provide adequate training within your program. What resources are available to fill-in the needed training for your residents? How did you take on the fundamental question of how many procedures are the minimum or optimal for adequate training? This is a problem across all research on scope of practice, which is an important area and PC education research. Thanks for sharing your work here at NAPCRG. - Bill Phillips
Hi Bill Thank you for your comment. Yes we are trying to find other resources - have actually linked up the Ob/Gyn residency here where residents now rotate through their clinic and they are getting some more LARC experience there. Additionally residents have apportunities to do family plannign elective with OB/Gyn and planned parenthood. We are hoping this may improve number of LARCs they can insert. The question for minimal/optimal for trainign is difficult as you suggested. In our survey we saw that some residents felt conident with 3-5 insertions while others did not, so this may truly be resident dependent. Thank you again for taking time to look at our poster
We must continue to train all FP in LARC use, appropriate women to use, how to insert and remove. Thank you for sharing your work with NAPCRG!
Thank you for taking the time to read our poster and your comments. Totally agree Komal
Small study but typically if this is happening in one place, it's happening in others. Well done
