About Us
For adolescent girls and women, reproductive health services are critical at every stage of life. Yet in many countries, comprehensive reproductive health care, including family planning, is not available or accessible because there are too few trained health professionals to guide patients.

The Approach
Health professionals are the foundation of healthy families and thriving communities. UM-CIRHT worked with medical and midwifery and nursing schools to train the health work force of the future with comprehensive reproductive health education rooted in three areas: training, patient service and research.
Training
CIRHT-UM partnered with medical and nursing and midwifery schools to meet client needs across the reproductive health continuum of care.
Service
With hands-on training, students learn critical techniques as well as the communication and counseling skills needed to deliver quality care. Every CIRHT-UM graduate learned how to work with a patient to address her individual needsWith hands-on training, students learn critical techniques as well as the communication and counseling skills needed to deliver quality care.
Research
Asking critical questions helps us understand the impact of our work. CIRHT-UM fostered a ‘team science’ approach to research—encouraging students and faculty to collaborate to collect local data and find answers through scientific exploration.
