This 4-week continuing education course offers an opportunity to explore what it means to support abortion as a part of your practice. There will be context given for understanding abortion legislation (US), as well as working in both collective and private practice settings to increase access to safe and empowered abortion in your community. This is a great place to start learning about abortion access and advocacy and build, or grow, a community of folks committed to abortion advocacy.
