Medical Education in Sexual and Reproductive Health in Uruguay

Abortion is legal in Uruguay since 2012. It was preceded by the implementation of a model of risk reduction from unsafe abortion which, based on the values of medical professionalism, laid the foundation for the legal change. To respond to these changes, there is a need to train doctors and residents in gynecology and obstetrics in Sexual and Reproductive Health, both in medical aspects and attitudes, as well as in the current regulatory framework. The development of a university curriculum in Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH), and the results of its implementation are presented.
