Why Learn About Fertility Awareness-Based Methods?

“Only 3% to 6% of physicians have accurate knowledge about the effectiveness rates of fertility awareness-based methods (FABMs) of family planning.”

Yet FABMs have important applications in:
  • Hormonal health monitoring
  • Fertility evaluation and management
  • Family planning
  • Patient-centered care

Our education programs aim to close this knowledge gap and prepare clinicians to present all reproductive health options with scientific accuracy and clinical confidence.

Student Medical Elective

The FACTS Student Medical Elective provides medical students and students in other health professions with a comprehensive introduction to Fertility Awareness-Based Methods (FABMs), including the evidence supporting their role in women’s health and their effectiveness for family planning.

This course prepares future healthcare professionals to confidently discuss fertility awareness with patients and support each patient’s decision based on their needs, lifestyle, values, and medical context.

The elective is primarily online and offered over a four-week block, divided into two parts.

Live Case Studies & Asynchronous Lectures

Clinical Observations

Assessments, Written Assignment & Final Exam

Credits

The Student Elective is accredited through Georgetown University School of Medicine. Each part consists of 40-50 hours of coursework, or 80-100 hours for Parts A and B.

Resident Elective

Expanding on our Student Elective, the Resident Elective can be tailored to each participant’s unique needs and experience, depending on background knowledge and availability. Medical residents at any accredited program are encouraged to learn more.

The Resident Elective consists of both didactic and clinical components. Ideally, this elective is longitudinal, taking place over the course of one year. However, a shorter elective of at least two weeks can be accommodated. 

Live Case Studies & Online, Asynchronous Lectures

Clinical Component

Residents work closely with physicians and clinicians trained in FABMs to see patients and assist in clinical care.

Assessments & Scholarly Activity

Credits are earned through the didactic component of the elective (CME parts). Each part of the course is approved for up to 16 CME credits through the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP).
