Midwest Access Project

1)Individual Clinical Training - The clinical training program's strategic direction is to train a diverse array of health care professionals who are highly motivated to provide comprehensive reproductive health care in their future practice to under-served patient populations, but who lack access to the clinical training to do so. 2)Provider & Community Education - Offers lectures and workshops on reproductive and sexual healthcare, as well as presentations on the importance of training healthcare professionals to provide reproductive health services. MAP educates medical residents and students, advanced practice clinicians, health care providers and community groups. Lectures and workshops are presented at medical schools, nursing schools, clinical sites, national and local conferences, and local community events. 3)Regional Collaboration - MAP strengthens relationships with organizations and allies in the field to grow opportunities for training in the Midwest and to build supportive community networks for providers. Through relationship building we share information and best practices, support providers in a challenging culture, create networking opportunities for current and future providers, and help to expand our training sites, thereby enabling more clinical training opportunities. MAP's network advocates for greater access to reproductive health care to professional organizations, accrediting bodies, legislators, and media outlets.
