Comprehensive IUD and Contraceptive Implant Insertion Trainings
Description:
The goal of the Family PACT Program is to provide Californians of reproductive age a means by which they can decide for themselves the number, timing, and spacing of their children by covering all U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved contraceptive methods, family planning-related services, and client-centered health education and counseling.
Each site enrolling into the Family PACT Program must identify, at a minimum, one practitioner trained to provide long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) services onsite. LARC methods include the copper and hormonal intrauterine devices (IUDs) and contraceptive implant.
In collaboration with Bayer (Mirena, Kyleena, Skyla), Medicines360 (Liletta), CooperSurgical (Paragard), and Organon (Nexplanon), the Office of Family Planning (OFP) is offering LARC trainings to prepare providers to offer and provide both intrauterine (IUD) and contraceptive implant services to Family PACT clients. All Medi-Cal providers in good standing are eligible to attend.
Learning Objectives
- Discuss the pros and cons of LARCs with clients interested in long-term methods to protect against unwanted pregnancies
- Learn and apply the proper techniques for insertion and removal of LARCs to expand access for clients interested in other contraceptives aside from hormonal and barrier methods
- Fulfill Family PACT Program LARC compliance standards requiring that all Family PACT providers be able to offer LARC services onsite
- Identify and apply the recommended treatment options for common IUD and implant placement complications
- Learn and apply the proper Family PACT billing codes for IUD and implant service reimbursement and new methods claims
Who should attend?
- Medical Doctors
- Physicians
- Nurse Practitioners
- Physician Assistants
- 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).
Comprehensive IUD Training
The training is suited both for providers who have never placed IUDs, as well as those who have experience with IUD insertions and removals, but who want to fine-tune their skills. The agenda for the training includes information about patient method selection, counseling and content, techniques for the use of instruments during IUD placement, and instruction in the insertion of each type of IUD currently available in the U.S.
The training includes hands-on practice with pelvic models and computer simulators and proctoring by family planning experts. Advanced topics include management of side effects, tips for managing difficult placement, pain management principles for office procedures, and prevention and management of complications. Participants will learn how to establish a clinic flow conducive to the same-day insertion of IUDs.
Disclaimer: While this training includes "hands-on" insertion techniques for all IUDs using plastic pelvic models, clinicians who need additional training or practice should utilize a preceptor who is experienced in IUD placement to proctor IUD placement procedures with actual patients. OFP does not arrange for the scheduling of, or payment for, preceptors.
