Qualified on the content I am responsible for because: I have managed the work of the LARC Program at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists for six years, focusing on educational and advocacy efforts to improve women's access to the full range of contraceptive methods available. A focus of my advocacy work with the LARC Program has been to research successful strategies and provide technical assistance to coalitions and clinicians working to improve appropriate reimbursement in the provision of LARC.
