Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, one of four historically Black medical schools in the country, has announced a unique learning opportunity aimed at reducing disparities in fertility healthcare for Black women.

Through support from Ferring Pharmaceuticals and EngagedMD, Morehouse School of Medicine has developed the FertilityEquity e-learning modules. Healthcare professionals and fertility clinic staff who participate in the program will learn about the historical healthcare disparities that persist among the Black community in the United States. The modules will feature video content, practical tips and resources, and personal stories from Black women who have experienced challenges when seeking fertility care. Upon completion of the free program, participants will receive a professional certificate from Morehouse School of Medicine.

“Morehouse School of Medicine is delighted to introduce this engaging, accessible learning opportunity, which will increase information and knowledge on the critical, multifaceted topic of fertility care,” said Valerie Montgomery Rice, president and CEO of Morehouse School of Medicine. “The FertilityEquity modules build upon the extensive work MSM’s Center for Maternal Health Equity does to co-create maternal health solutions with the individuals who are most directly impacted, and we look forward to seeing the fruits of this innovative collaboration.”
