What pain management options exist for IUD placement? How can I help my patient select the right birth control pill? Can the hormonal IUD really be used as emergency contraception? You've got questions, and the Division of Family Planning at the University of Utah has answers! Join us on Zoom the second Wednesday of each month to connect with local experts in family planning, discuss clinical cases, and share best practices for providing comprehensive person-centered family planning care to patients.
