Direct peers

• Reproductive Health Access Project (RHAP): RHAP trains and supports primary care clinicians to integrate abortion, contraception, and miscarriage care — a near-direct peer to TEACH's primary care-focused abortion training model, with whom TEACH formally collaborates on clinical training and continuing education.
• Nurses for Sexual and Reproductive Health (NSRH): NSRH supports nursing students and clinicians in reproductive health, including abortion care. It is a direct peer addressing the nursing/APN pipeline that TEACH also targets through fellowships and CREATE.
• Medical Students for Choice (MSFC): MSFC provides externships and training support for medical students and residents in abortion care. It is a channel partner and direct peer in the family medicine abortion-training ecosystem where TEACH operates.

Broad incumbents

• National Abortion Federation (NAF): NAF is the professional association of abortion providers, setting clinical standards and offering continuing education. It is a broad incumbent comparable to TEACH in CME/training for clinicians in abortion care.
• Planned Parenthood Federation of America: Planned Parenthood is TEACH's longest-standing training partner and the dominant national provider of abortion services; it represents a large incumbent ecosystem in which TEACH's curriculum is delivered.
• UCSF Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health: UCSF Bixby Center is an academic incumbent in reproductive health research and training; TEACH's Curriculum Director Dr. Suzan Goodman is Bixby faculty, and the two jointly operate Innovating Education in Reproductive Health.

Emerging players

• If/When/How: Lawyering for Reproductive Justice: If/When/How partners with TEACH on the Self-Managed Abortion and the Law session for CREATE trainees. It is an adjacent legal-advocacy peer in the reproductive health ecosystem.
• Abortion Care Network: Abortion Care Network supports independent abortion providers, including through Clinical Abortion Training Centers that TEACH lists as a core clinical training partner. It is an emerging player in the same training ecosystem.
• ANSIRH (Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health): ANSIRH is a UCSF-based research program that has produced policy-relevant evidence on abortion access, including studies underpinning California policy TEACH helped shape (e.g., AB 154 APC authorization).

Others

• Society of Family Planning Research Fund: Society of Family Planning is a funder and research convener in family planning; it directly funds TEACH's Medication Abortion CME. It is an ecosystem participant rather than a direct training competitor.
