Early Abortion Training Workbook
Early Abortion Training WorkbookEarly Abortion Training Workbook
ANSIRH’s Early Abortion Training Workbook was developed for use in a clinical setting where an experienced trainer or provider is available to lead a discussion of its didactic context and exercises. It is intended to help clinicians learn to identify key elements of informed consent counseling, recognize major psychosocial issues of importance for women who seek abortions, understand the basic steps involved with first-trimester vacuum aspiration abortions and early medical abortion service provision, and identify common complications related to first-trimester abortion care.
Now in its second edition, the workbook is currently in use at top medical schools around the world. It is designed for use with A Clinician’s Guide to Medical and Surgical Abortion.
Use the links at the right to access free downloadable copies of both the trainees’ and trainers’ versions of the workbook. If you are unable to print the workbook at your own institution, you may contact the Center for Reproductive Health Education in Family Medicine (RHEDI) at info@rhedi.org for a pre-printed copy. Please specify which version(s) you are requesting (trainer, trainee, or both).
