For Healthcare Providers

The purpose of this health care provider section is to re-frame knowledge about women's reproduction to an approach that is life cycle based, ovulation-focused and woman-centered. Those providing medical services related to women’s reproduction have been trained largely by gynecologists and given a pelvis-based and surgically focused knowledge that may or may not be practical for and acceptable to women. In addition this section provides practical tools and handout materials for women’s reproductive care.

Because reproductive medical education, journals and textbooks continue to be dominated by a gynecological approach, some of the CeMCOR's research may not yet be published. Hence the information may vary from current standard recommendations and recommendations provided may or may not be supported by published Level 1 or 2 evidence. However, in each instance the physiology, epidemiology and, sometimes, randomized double blind controlled trial evidence for the approach will be provided with peer-reviewed references.

In addition, the CeMCOR website offers health care providers of all levels of training the opportunity to ask key questions [1] and obtain detailed and practical answers from Dr. Prior.

You may make copies of our handouts and tools for personal use and for use in clinical practice. These copies must include our authorship. They cannot be reproduced for profit. Please contact us for any use beyond this.

Those of us at the Centre for Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation Research integrate scientific and practical information for the benefit and empowerment of women. What is posted here is as wise and as accurate as we are able to produce. However, it lacks essential knowledge of your preferences, your life and health histories that are needed before treatment decisions are made. Please work with your primary care health provider to determine what is best for you. Remember we can't take responsibility (liability) for the personal health decisions that you make based on our information, suggestions, and advice.
