at the Century Center in South Bend, Indiana

The goal of this day-long seminar is to provide clinicians the didactic and practice experience needed to initiate male services in a Title X setting. MPRES will require follow-up reporting from all participants in order to evaluate the impact of the training on the services provided to male patients in Region V. Participants will meet at the Century Center in the morning for lecture and discussion, followed by a supervised practice lab at the Olive Street Clinic in the afternoon. Each attendee will receive a copy of the updated MPRES training manual Male Reproductive Healthcare in the Title X Clinic as a take-home clinic resource.

PRESENTER: Demetrius Porche, DNS, ARNP is the Dean of the Louisiana State University School of Nursing, recognized by numerous organizations for his contributions to male health and nursing leadership.
