IMPORTANT - Updated Contraceptive Implant (Nexplanon) Training: Effective January 16, 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) extended Nexplanon use from 3 years to 5 years and now requires all clinicians performing insertions or removals to complete the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) Certification.

The REMS enrollment period is February 23, 2026, through August 23, 2026. Providers who do not enroll during this time period will not be able to purchase Nexplanon after the end of this 6-month certification period.

Comprehensive IUD Training
(8 CME credits)

This training is designed for both new and experienced providers who want to build or refine their skills in IUD placement and removal. The agenda covers patient counseling and consent, method selection, instrument use, and step-by-step instruction for all U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved IUDs.

Participants will receive hands-on practice with pelvic models and computer simulators under the guidance of family planning experts. Advanced topics include managing side effects, pain control, troubleshooting difficult placements, and creating clinic flow for same-day IUD services.

The training is offered in collaboration with Bayer (Mirena®, Kyleena®, Skyla®), Medicines360/AbbVie (LILETTA®), and CooperSurgical (Paragard®).

Learning Objectives

• Counsel clients on the benefits and considerations of LARCs
• Perform proper placement and removal techniques for IUDs and implants
• Meet Family PACT requirements for onsite LARC services*
• Manage common complications and provide follow-up care
• Apply correct billing codes for reimbursement and claims

*Family PACT LARC Policy: Each provider site enrolling into the Family PACT Program must identify, at a minimum, one practitioner trained to provide LARC services onsite. LARCs include both the copper and hormonal IUDs and the contraceptive implant. The application for enrollment requires the name of the LARC-trained practitioner(s).

Who should attend?

• Medical Doctors
• Physicians
• Physician Assistants
• Certified Nurse Practitioners
• Certified Nurse Midwives

Only licensed personnel with family planning skills, knowledge, and competency may provide medical services under Family PACT in accordance with California Welfare and Institutions Code (W&I Code) Section 24005, subdivision (b).

Disclaimer: While this training includes "hands-on" placement techniques using plastic pelvic models and computer simulators, clinicians who need additional practice should utilize an experienced preceptor to proctor IUD placement procedures with patients. The Office of Family Planning (OFP) does not coordinate or cover the cost of preceptor arrangements.

Updated Nexplanon® Clinical Training Program

What's New: Effective January 16, 2026, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the Supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for Nexplanon® (68 mg etonogestrel implant), extending its use from 3 years to up to 5 years for pregnancy prevention.

As part of this update, the FDA has determined that a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) is necessary to ensure that the benefits of Nexplanon outweighs the risk of complications due to improper insertion and removal. Organon's existing Clinical Training Program (CTP), a program designed to help ensure health care providers can safely insert and remove Nexplanon with the proper techniques will remain in place and incorporated into the Nexplanon REMS.

The updated CTP now includes an online didactic program plus hands-on training for insertion, removal procedures, and implant localization techniques. Completion of the REMS certification and the live, hand- on training will allow healthcare providers to order the product from authorized distributors.

It is Organon’s policy to verify all healthcare providers' U.S. state license and/or National Provider Identifier (NPI) numbers, and eligibility information in advance of the training. Organon will contact you directly if there is a problem. Attendees are expected to attend the entire training, which is approximately 2 hours in duration. Certificates of attendance will not be issued to those who arrive late or leave early.

All healthcare providers who dispense Nexplanon for insertion must become certified in the NEXPLANON REMS. You will no longer have access to NEXPLANON for insertion if you have not completed certification by 8/23/2026.

The REMS enrollment period is February 23, 2026, through August 23, 2026. Providers who do not enroll during this time period will not be able to purchase Nexplanon after the end of this 6-month certification period.
