This guide is part of a curriculum developed and used to help ensure the availability and further improve the quality of family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) services delivered to Egyptian youth. The private sector physician training curriculum is designed for as a 5-day training course which provides up-to-date information on various FP/RH topics that are especially important for young people such as pre-marital counseling, postponing first births and birth spacing. It addresses certain topics that aren’t covered during traditional trainings for private sector physicians such as counselling, infection control and how to address myths regarding FP/RH that are rampant in Egyptian communities. The methods available in the private sector are detailed in this curriculum as well as a practical how-to guide for one-day field visits to clinics which takes place on Day 4 of the curriculum.
