Welcome to the unit on intrauterine device (IUD) insertion in the women's health module! The purpose of this unit is to have a web-based, readily-accessible tool for residents to learn IUD placement. This unit is proposed to be used during the resident women's health rotation and prior to clinic visits for patients who desire an IUD.

Components of the unit include:
- A brief discussion of the differences between a copper and a progestin-releasing IUD
- A list of the benefits of IUD use
- A list of risks and side effects of IUD use
- A brief discussion of how to determine candidates for IUD insertion
- A list of contraindications to IUD placement
- A pictorial to lead you through placement of a copper or a progestin-releasing IUD
