Workshop sessions are key to the CREATE Advanced Training Curriculum. These sessions cover diverse topics and can be offered in any order. However, we recommend this sequence: first, build a foundation for understanding abortion care; next, provide opportunities to envision career goals before the mid-point of the final residency year; and finally, focus on complication management to ensure skills are fresh for independent practice.

These slides, particularly the slides focused on Reproductive Justice, can provide an introduction to the concept of RJ. While we try to integrate an RJ framework into all of our trainings, TEACH is not an RJ organization and cannot replace the tremendous value and grassroots work that RJ organizations hold.

To host the most effective and valuable Reproductive Justice session in your program, it is best to collaborate with and financially compensate a local or national RJ organization.
