Nexplanon:
Free, in-person training is available for eligible health care providers who want to insert Nexplanon. All interested providers must go online and enter the required information. A Nexplanon trainer will then contact you to let you know when and where local insertion training will be scheduled.
The Nexplanon insertions training is a free, three-hour, hands-on workshop given by Merck for eligible medical providers. Nexplanon certifications will be awarded upon successful completion of the training. For more information, contact the Merck regional representative Sia Sengos at s.sengos@merck.com
Liletta:
Activis provides on-site Liletta insertion training. A representative from Activis will come with demonstration kits for providers to practice and for training purposes. The demonstration kits also come with insertion instructions. There is no specific allotment of time needed for training. In fact, Actavis says roughly 10 minutes is all that’s needed to demonstrate and train a physician on inserting Liletta, depending on their level of experience with IUDs. It may take a bit longer if a provider does not have any experience inserting IUDs. Training consists of explaining the different parts of the device and demonstrating how to use.
