Description

On behalf Dr Kristina Dervaitis and Dr Lesley Hawkins, Bayer invites you to join the conversation on TikTok myth-busting. Your patients are on TikTok… Do you know what medical content they are exposed to? Would you like to see what this generation of patients are watching and gain tips for handling questions? Dr Dervaitis and Dr Hawkins will be diving into common contraceptive TikTok topics like “hormones are bad” and “pain with IUD insertion”. There will be ample opportunities for you to comment and ask your questions at this free virtual event.

Learning Objectives

• To share trending contraception myths on social media
• To join the conversation and ask questions as we look at social media fueled myths such as:
• “This IUD insertion is going to be totally traumatic!”
• “If you put that in me, I’m never going to be able to have kids?!”
• “All hormones are bad! Don’t I need a hormone break?!”
• “I can remove my own IUD at home!”
• To review counselling pearls around myth-busting in practice and equipping our patients with the most comprehensive information for their reproductive health

Supported by Bayer Inc. In accordance with IMC guidelines, this program is limited to Health Care professionals.
