Clinician Resources for Lifelong Learning in 2025: On the Front Lines of Sexual & Reproductive Health

Afaxys Candid Conversations in Public Health

In our second episode of Afaxys Candid Conversations in Public Health, we talk with Dr. Jen Karlin to explore how clinicians can stay up to date in sexual and reproductive healthcare while balancing evolving evidence, patient needs, and time constraints. The discussion covers practical continuing education strategies and trusted resources like Bedsider Providers+, the CDC’s Medical Eligibility Criteria (MEC) and Selected Practice Recommendations (SPR), and the Clinician Training Center for Sexual and Reproductive Health (CTC-SRH).

The conversation also spotlights the Reproductive Health Hotline (Repro-HH) — a free, nationwide service from UCSF that provides real-time, confidential support for clinicians managing questions about contraceptive care and reproductive health.

Whether you’re a provider looking to strengthen your knowledge or simply curious about how medical education adapts to modern challenges, this episode offers valuable insight and resources to help improve patient access and confidence in care.
