National regulator denied offer to give Canadian physicians training on abortion pill
16 July 2019 - The group representing Canada’s family doctors turned down an offer from a national abortion group to provide physicians with a training course designed to help more women get prescriptions for the abortion pill without going to other health-care providers.
The National Abortion Federation asked if it could host a one-day training course for doctors at the coming conference of the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CFPC). The college bills the Family Medicine Forum, being held this fall in Vancouver, as “the largest gathering of family physicians in Canada.”
The CFPC sets standards for training and education of family doctors, including accrediting the curriculum of residency training programs and providing continuing education courses for physicians.
