The Society of Family Planning (SFP) is an international non-profit[1] professional organization established in 2005 specializing in "abortion and contraception science"[2][3] composed of physicians, nurses, sociologists, public health practitioners and trainees in these fields.[4] The majority of member physicians include specialists of obstetrics and gynecology, family medicine, and adolescent medicine.[4]

The organization sponsors the Society of Family Planning Research Fund that provides grants for research in abortion and contraception.[4] This funding source was established in 2011. The Society of Family Planning supports the Fellowship in Complex Family Planning, previously known as the Fellowship in Family Planning. The fellowship is certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG), member of the American Board of Medical Specialties, as a subspecialty of Obstetrics and Gynecology.[5]
