Why This Training Matters
The Family Planning, Access, Care, and Treatment (Family PACT) Program policy requires each enrolled provider site to identify, at a minimum, one practitioner trained to provide on-site long-acting reversible contraception services. This training can help providers meet that requirement.

|
 |
|

This training is open to eligible clinicians, including non-Family PACT providers.
