Health Canada has recently provided funding to help increase safe and consistent access to abortion services across Canada. As a part of this work, the University of British Columbia Faculty of Medicine division of Continuing Professional Development (UBC CPD) is developing new education for primary care providers. This education will provide doctors and other health professionals guidance and insight into intersectionality and the historic, systemic and sustained barriers people face while accessing abortion care (or optimal care) in Canada.
To make this education as impactful as possible, we need to hear from you.
As a health professional working in either primary care or specifically in abortion care, your experience can help us create meaningful education for your continuing professional development.
