The female condom. The Five year Progestin IUD. The Patch. The ring. These are just some of the contraceptives introduced in the past five years. What does the future hold? With us today is Doctor Robert Hatcher, a professor of Gynecology and Obstetrics at the Emory University School of Medicine. Many in our audience will recognize him as the lead author of Contraceptive Technology, perhaps the most comprehensive book on contraception available. First written by Dr. Hatcher in 1967, the book’s 19th edition will be available shortly.
