About this webinar
Pregnancy and infant loss, including miscarriage, stillbirth, and neonatal death, affects patients across every specialty and practice setting. Yet many clinicians receive limited formal training in how to navigate the clinical complexities and profound emotional impact of these experiences. This session integrates current clinical guidance with lived experience to provide practical, evidence-informed approaches to caring for patients and families facing perinatal loss. Participants will explore communication strategies, trauma-informed principles, bereavement support considerations, and systems-level practices that promote compassionate, equitable care. The goal is to equip all clinicians in primary care and women’s health with the tools and confidence to respond with both clinical competence and deep humanity during some of the most difficult moments in patient care.
