Topic: Common Sexual and Reproductive presentations in adolescents
Speakers: Ms Sam Read and Dr Kath McNamee – Family Planning Victoria, Medical Education Team
The Doctors in Secondary Schools (DiSS) clinical training program has partnered with Family Planning Victoria (FPV) to enable GPs and nurses (in the DiSS program) to access their online training in Contraception and Sexual health history taking. Registration for the contraception course is normally valued at $275, but is available free of charge through the CANVAS platform until December 2021.
This webinar will aim to consolidate your learning from this course, or to serve as a launch point for you to undertake this comprehensive 6 hour self-paced online, accredited course. We highly recommend this course as contraception and sexual health is a major component of Adolescent Health and will also equip you to manage any patient age group in primary care.
