Collaboration

Within Boston Medical Center , the fellowship enjoys a strong collaborative relationship with the Department of Family Medicine. Dr. Mari Bentley, of the Family Medicine Department is a key clinician and teacher in the abortion service. Family medicine residents rotate through family planning and abortion services.

Several midwives and nurse-practitioners are or have been medical abortion providers, and have collaborated on research projects concerning medical abortion and post-partum contraception.

We have had a productive and continuing research partnership with the Tufts University Division of Genetics.

The Division of General Internal Medicine has a women's health fellowship as part of the Center of Excellence in Women's Health and is a potential collaborator.

Fellows have had collaborative work with reproductive health organizations such as Ibis Reproductive Health and IPAS. In the Boston area, there are many advocacy groups such as the Abortion Access Project, Massachusetts NARAL, which invite fellow collaboration. Services for refugees and the Asylum Projects are multidisciplinary and include members of the School of Public Health , psychiatry, and internal medicine.
