History
TEACH (TRAINING IN EARLY ABORTION FOR COMPREHENSIVE HEALTHCARE) is an academic community partnership that started in 2003 as a national initiative to address the need for skilled providers. They partner with Bay Area Planned Parenthood affiliates and Family Medicine residency programs to train residents in comprehensive reproductive health, including first-trimester aspiration and medication abortions, pregnancy options counseling, contraceptive choices, prenatal care and miscarriage management, and engage in reproductive health advocacy. |
They develop innovative curriculum informed by reproductive justice principles that empower clinicians to provide compassionate, trauma-informed abortion care that centers patients’ autonomy and dignity and advances access to equitable healthcare. Since their founding, TEACH has been the sole provider of an academic curriculum in abortion provision for Family Doctors and Advanced Practice Clinicians (APCs).
TEACH is developing a new generation of diverse reproductive health champions, with over 1,000 graduates and counting, who are uniquely poised to help expand abortion access across the nation. Champions who are trained not just to provide abortions, but also teach the next generation of providers, and resist attacks on reproductive justice.
TEACH-trained providers care for patients near and far, especially in underserved communities. They provide abortion care in California, travel to high-need states like Kansas, and provide medication abortions through Telehealth to patients from all over the country.
