  • composition and mechanism of action
  • efficacy
  • side effects, including bleeding patterns and guidance of management
  • patient suitability, contraindications, and medication interactions
  • patient consent
  • timing of initiation of contraception
  • insertion procedure, including anatomical considerations
  • removal procedure
  • reinsertion procedure
  • post-procedure patient advice
  • advice for complex implants, such as deeply inserted implants.

Implanon NXT® insertion and removal simulated practice on model arms will occur in small groups under observation by experienced Implanon NXT® clinical educators via Zoom webinar.
