Dear Colleague,

We work with Family Health International (FHI), a non-profit research and technical assistance organization dedicated to reproductive health. We are currently researching different venues for disseminating information on our Contraceptive Technology Update (CTU) Series, an educational and training tool for reproductive health service providers. We thought that your listserver might be an appropriate avenue for placing an announcement about the series.

Each CTU Module consists of 35 mm slide presentations in English, French, or Spanish on the most current information related to contraceptive methods designed for use in seminars or workshops with policy makers, physicians, nurses, medical students, and health educators. Each contains a suggested narrative, fact sheets, audience handouts, evaluations and reprints of important resources. The module topics currently available include Postpartum Contraception, Oral Contraception, Barrier Methods, Injectables, IUDs, and Lactational Amenorrhea. Modules on Male/Female Sterilization and Adolescent Reproductive Health will be available by the end of 1997.

The Contraceptive Technology Update Series has been developed and produced by Family Health International with technical input from numerous other agencies concerned with reproductive health. The materials have been reviewed by a number of prominent international physicians and field tested with audiences around the world.

The development of the modules was funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Because there has been a large demand for the series from organizations not funded by USAID, we have been granted permission to make the materials available for public purchase, with the proceeds used to help subsidize free or reduced cost distributors to reproductive health educators less able to pay full cost. We would like to request permission to place an announcement about the availablility of these materials on your listserv.

We look forward to hearing from you and if you need further information about the series or FHI, please feel free to call.

Sincerely,

--

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
