This program brings together a renowned faculty to present the latest developments in every phase of in vitro fertilization and embryo management. The course addresses the needs of practicing scientists, gynecologists, reproductive endocrinologists, residents, and fellows who wish to review the specialty and update their knowledge in this rapidly changing and expanding field.
The intimate setting of the conference promotes extensive contact among speakers and participants with question periods after each talk and many opportunities for informal interaction. A very extensive course syllabus developed by the course instructors will be provided and an audience response system will be used to promote interaction with the speakers.
Particular attention will be devoted this year to the use of new adjuncts to gonadotropins, GnRH antagonists, endometriosis and IVF, oocyte cryopreservation, extended embryo culture, cumulus co-culture, and practical aspects of ultrasound-guided transfer technique, in vitro maturation of immature oocytes, and new microarray techniques for PGS. A mini-symposium directed by Dr. David Gardner will cover assessment of the sperm and sperm DNA integrity, non-invasive evaluation of embryo metabolism and function, embryo culture systems, and IVF laboratory regulations.

“Health literacy is the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions.” Older people, and other vulnerable populations, often have limited health literacy. Limited health literacy contributes to poor health knowledge, poor disease management skills, poor health status and higher health care costs.
