The UMB MARCH Fellowship aims to create a sustainable model for advancing abortion care statewide. We work to close gaps in access by equipping health care professionals with the skills, knowledge, and clinical experience necessary to provide high-quality patient care where they already live and work throughout the state.
Expand your clinical capabilities and better serve your patients by offering essential reproductive health services.
Stay up-to-date with the latest developments in abortion care and reproductive rights.
Contribute to the health and well-being of individuals and families in your community and beyond by providing compassionate and informed care.
Fellows receive a $4,000 stipend as well as continuing education (CME) credits for completing the program.
Gain in-depth knowledge and skills for medication abortion, patient counseling, and managing post-abortion care with confidence and compassion. Our fellows also gain exposure to procedural abortion care.
Our curriculum is a combination of online and in person learning. The online training is completed asynchronously over 6 weeks, allowing fellows to learn at their own pace. . The program concludes with a required in-person, two-day-long training that includes standardized patient visits to equip learners with the skills needed to immediately begin providing safe and supportive care.
Learn in-person from experienced faculty and leading professionals in the field who will guide you through the latest practices, protocols, and evidence-based approaches to abortion care.
Fellows gain the clinical knowledge needed to deliver abortion care, but are also supported through their transition to practice integration. Fellows are paired with faculty members for one-on-one mentorship in the year following their completion of the training phase. Mentorship can include discussions about integration, clinical care, and support for developing new roles as abortion care providers. Fellows also have access to technical support when needed to troubleshoot barriers to implementation.
MARCH receive a taxable $4,000 stipend for their completion of the program.
Find community with like-minded clinicians and create a network of support as you grow your expertise in abortion care.
The Fellowship offers learning events for Fellows, clinicians and interested members of the healthcare and abortion advocacy community.
