ACCESS LIST – ELIGIBILITY AND PROCESS TO JOIN

The target audience includes family medicine clinicians, educators, learners, and others who provide abortion/SRH care, are involved in abortion/SRH training, or support this care or training within the family medicine/primary care community.

This includes:

1. Clinicians who are providing abortion care (medication and/or procedural)
2. Clinicians who are providing SRH care but not abortion care
3. A variety of credentials and disciplines: physicians (MD/DO), nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and certified nurse midwives 
4. Clinicians in family medicine, but may also include other specialties (internal medicine, pediatrics, OB/GYN, etc.) if they are providing care in primary care settings or training at a high volume abortion care site
5. Family medicine residents may be members. Medical students are generally not accepted to the Access List unless they are in their 3^rd or 4^th year, are certain they are going into family medicine, and want to provide abortion/SRH care
6. Non-clinicians may be members, including researchers, advocates, administrators, social scientists, policy experts, and lawyers if involved in work that supports care or training within the family medicine community
7. If you are currently a member of the Access List but do not fall within any of the categories listed above, please reach out to the Access List Manager to determine whether you should remain on the List or not.

Access List Outreach: Members are primarily added through member referrals, conference sign-up sheets, contacting RHAP directly via website, and outreach through the Reproductive Health Access Network. Access List members are encouraged to make referrals, and they should be made with the Access List guidelines and eligibility requirements in mind. Membership will be reminded regularly on how to make referrals in quarterly messages that will contain announcements and other reminders.

Application Requirements: To be considered for membership, all applicants must complete the membership application form.

Referral & Vetting process:

1. All referrals should be sent to accesslistmanager@reproductiveaccess.org. Please include information about the person being referred, i.e. current position (medical student, resident, faculty), institutional affiliation, and your relationship to the applicant.
2. If not referred directly (e.g., applying via sign-in sheet or RHAP’s website), the applicant’s reference will be contacted by the List Manager to confirm they can vouch for the person. For applicants without references, the List Manager will conduct additional screening and may reach out to the applicant for a brief call.  The List Manager will then consult with RHAP staff as needed.
3. Subscribers who have successfully completed the application process will be sent a welcome letter.
