The LARC Mentoring Program is aimed at increasing access to long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC) for all women of reproductive age in New Mexico. This is accomplished by training primary care providers in LARC procedures and improving clinic flow, billing and coding for more efficient patient care.
Our objectives include:
Since November of 2016 we have trained over 1,000 providers and are expanding yearly into rural and urban communities across the state.
The LARC Mentoring Program is supported by members of the Early Childhood Funders Group and the New Mexico Department of Health.
