Updated 2025 by Nikia Grayson DNP, MPH, CNM, FNP-C; Divya Bhatia MD; Meera MD;
and Jillian MacLeod, Esq.

This chapter is designed to aid clinicians, clinics, and organizations interested in integrating early pregnancy loss (EPL) and abortion care into their own practice. We recognize that our audience comes from different settings, training backgrounds, and political environments, and we have aimed to provide a breadth of tools to reflect these differences. Additional tools and handouts are linked in the chapter and available online at TEACH Office Practice Tools and Reproductive Health Access Project.
