The dismissal of in-person dispensing requirements has resulted in increased use of telemedicine and website orders for chemical abortion pills. This has virtually eliminated assessment prior to abortion and made assessment following an abortion even more critical. Many abortion providers are now labeling any sort of routine follow-up care for their patients as “not required” or unnecessary.
This course offers information about what services are needed prior, during and following an abortion and explain how Pregnancy Help Medical Clinics can fill these gaps in medical care and ensure the safety of women following a chemical abortion.

Reproductive loss, including miscarriage, abortion, stillbirth, and infertility, can be devastating, and healthcare professionals are often at the front lines of responding to those experiencing reproductive grief. Reproductive Grief Care for Healthcare Professionals is an introduction to standards of grief care for physicians, nurses, and other medical providers. This course equips learners to recognize the impact of reproductive loss, respond effectively both individually and organizationally, and help patients begin to cope with their loss experiences. Participants will learn a variety of effective communication strategies, cultural and spiritual competency skills, and options for memorialization to positively impact the grief trajectory for the bereaved.
