Program Overview:
Accidents happen, that's why we have emergency contraception (the morning after pill). Emergency contraception (EC) is a safe and effective way to prevent pregnancy after unprotected intercourse. It can be started up to five days (120 hours) after unprotected intercourse. This knowledge based activity will enhance the health care providers understanding of emergency contraception and how to counsel patients on the proper use of EC.
