Comprehensive IUD and Contraceptive Implant Insertion Training
Please register by January 31, 2025. Space is limited to
50 participants; please register early.
Walk-ins will not be accepted.
Up to 8 CME credits are available at no cost.
Comprehensive IUD Training
The training is suited both for providers who have never placed IUDs, as well as those who have experience with IUD insertions and removals, but who want to fine-tune their skills. The agenda for the training includes information about patient method selection, counseling and content, techniques for the use of instruments during IUD placement, and instruction in the insertion of each type of IUD currently available in the United States.
The training includes hands-on practice with pelvic models and computer simulators and proctoring by family planning experts. Advanced topics include management of side effects, tips for managing difficult placement, pain management principles for office procedures, and prevention and management of complications. Participants will learn how to establish a clinic flow conducive to the same-day insertion of IUDs.
The training is presented in collaboration with Bayer (Mirena®, Kyleena®, and Skyla®), Medicines360 (Liletta®), and CooperSurgical (Paragard®).
Learning Objectives
- Discuss the pros and cons of LARCs with clients interested in long-term methods to protect against unwanted pregnancies.
- Learn and apply the proper techniques for the insertion and removal of LARCs to expand access to people interested in other contraceptives aside from hormonal and barrier methods.
- Fulfill Family PACT Program compliance standards requiring that all Family PACT providers be able to offer LARC services onsite*.
- Identify and apply the recommended treatment options for common IUD and implant placement complications.
- Learn and apply the proper Family PACT billing codes for IUD and implant service reimbursement and new methods claims.
*Family PACT LARC Policy: Each provider site enrolling into the Family PACT Program must identify, at a minimum, one practitioner trained to provide LARC services onsite. LARCs include both the copper and hormonal intrauterine devices (IUDs) and the contraceptive implant. The application for enrollment requires the name of the LARC-trained practitioner(s).
Who should attend?
- Medical Doctors

Only licensed personnel with family planning skills, knowledge and competency may provide medical services under Family PACT in accordance with California Welfare and Institutions Code (W&I Code) Section 24005, subdivision (b).
Disclaimer: While this training includes "hands-on" insertion techniques for all IUDs using plastic pelvic models, clinicians who need additional training or practice should utilize a preceptor who is experienced in IUD placement to proctor IUD placement procedures with actual patients. The Office of Family Planning does not arrange for the scheduling of, or payment for, preceptors.
