Summary

This chapter describes many potential collaborations within and beyond the university environment to expand reproductive healthcare, rights, and justice. Academic partnerships should be created with colleagues from diverse medical specialties and health care disciplines to expand clinical care, education, research, and advocacy efforts. Collaborations with organizations beyond the university can ideally be integrated into academic institutions’ missions to serve the surrounding community and to advocate for people and policy change. These can also include expansion of and improvements in reproductive healthcare, education, research to identify barriers and approaches to overcome them, and advocacy with existing community partners.
