Abstract

The objective of this study was to begin a multi-phased, rigorous evaluation to determine the impact and outcomes of the work of CERCL-FP. A needs assessment with former graduates and current directors of fellowships in family planning was conducted using qualitative interviews. The focus of these interviews was to determine the ability, readiness, and willingness of the field of family planning to retrofit new curricula grounded in equity, race, and cultural literacy. Nine (N=9) interviews were completed with seven board certified obstetrician-gynecologists and two board certified family medicine physicians. Three themes were identified: 1) Establishing the Distribution of Work; 2) The Push/Pull of Change from Inside and Outside: Curricula and Faculty Responsibilities; and 3) Reproductive Justice and Fellowships in Family Planning. Despite acknowledging the need to retrofit the field of family planning with content grounded in equity, race, and cultural literacy, there are structural, institutional, and individual level barriers that have limited the adoption of CERCL-FP curricula within family planning curriculum nationwide. Findings from this study illuminate multiple barriers that should be considered when expanding foundational knowledge of clinicians and researchers.
