Contraception Essentials in Primary Care

Through case studies, presentations, group discussion and online learning, the Contraception Essentials in Primary Care webinar will increase primary care providers' knowledge and confidence in discussing the benefits of Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) to reduce the incidence of unintended pregnancy amongst their patient population.

• Outline common issues and side effects that arise in contraceptive care
• Propose strategies for breaking down barriers to contraception access
