A New Contraception Curriculum in the Internal Medicine Residency Primary Care Clinic.

Conclusion: A change in the contraception curriculum led to improved residents' skills in etonogestrel placement, and attitudes regarding the applicability of training in contraception to internal medicine, but did not significantly improve confidence in contraceptive counseling. These results suggest that internal medicine residencies should focus on teaching contraception to improve the attitudes in future internists who will need to address contraception in the military population. Future studies could include assessing physician preparedness for addressing contraception during general medical officer tours. PMID: 30053194 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
