‘Providing Medical Abortion Without a Screening Ultrasound’ – Thursday 7 November 2019 at 6.30pm

Dr Elizabeth Raymond, MD, MPH, Gynuity Health Projects, New York, NY, USA

Abortion providers commonly require an ultrasound prior to medical abortion to confirm eligibility for the treatment. This test is costly, time-consuming and uncomfortable, and it must be performed by trained personnel using specific equipment. In this session, we will review evidence suggesting that medical abortion can be safely provided without routine screening ultrasound.

Elizabeth Raymond is a Senior Medical Associate at Gynuity Health Projects, where she conducts clinical and behavioural research focused on simplifying medical abortion procedures to increase autonomy and comfort and to reduce cost.
