U.S. MEC and U.S. SPR Continuing Education Opportunities

U.S. MEC & U.S. SPR Continuing Education Opportunities

We are excited to announce that we have updated our continuing education opportunities for CDC’s U.S. Medical Eligibility Criteria for Contraceptive Use, 2016 (U.S. MEC) and U.S. Selected Practice Recommendations for Contraceptive Use, 2016 (U.S. SPR). The slide presentations can be used by health care providers who want to increase knowledge about the U.S. MEC, U.S. SPR, and teen pregnancy and/or earn continuing education credits.

The U.S. Medical Eligibility Criteria for Contraceptive Use, 2016 (U.S. MEC) provides guidance on the use of specific contraceptive methods by women and men who have certain characteristics or medical conditions. The U.S. Selected Practice Recommendations for Contraceptive Use, 2016 (U.S. SPR) provides recommendations for common, yet sometimes complex, management issues in initiating and using contraceptive methods.

CDC has developed three continuing education activities found on the Training for Providerswebpage:

• Slide Set and Continuing Education Opportunity: US Medical Eligibility Criteria for Contraceptive Use, 2016 (U.S. MEC)
• Slide Set and Continuing Education Opportunity: U.S. Selected Practice Recommendations for Contraceptive Use, 2016 (U.S. SPR)
• Slide Set and Continuing Education Opportunity: Teen Pregnancy Prevention: Application of CDC’s Evidence-Based Guidance
