FertilityCare Practice
FertilityCare Practice is the named-method clinical discipline that integrates Creighton Model FertilityCare System charting instruction with NaProTechnology medical evaluation. A FertilityCare Practitioner (FCP) is a credentialed educator who teaches CrMS charting to clients, follows their charts longitudinally, and communicates findings to the NaProTechnology Medical Consultant who directs medical care. The FCP role is the instructional backbone of the NaProTechnology model: the clinical data that drives diagnosis flows through CrMS charting, and accurate charting requires consistent FCP support.12 FertilityCare Practitioners are credentialed through the American Academy of FertilityCare Professionals (AAFCP). The FertilityCare practice model is distinct from the NaProTechnology Medical Consultant role: the FCP instructs and monitors charting; the physician evaluates and treats. Other RRM methods have parallel educator structures: FEMM Teachers, Marquette instructors, and sympto-thermal educators serve comparable instructional functions within their respective clinical systems. Fertility charting is the shared foundation across all of these models.
