CONFERENCE DESCRIPTION The goal of this conference is to
present a comprehensive update and review on current clinical topics related to treating the obstetric patient. Emphasis will be placed on practical application on evidence-based topics.
In addition to the didactic lectures and smaller group sessions, which will
present current diagnostic and
management information, ample time has been allotted for participant
feedback and interaction.
Topics in this year's conference have been selected based on extensive
target audience needs assessment data, including clinical expert input, obstetrics practice guidelines, and past participant suggestions.
An outstanding faculty has been
assembled for this conference. Presenters were selected based on their individual areas of expertise, their ability to communicate first-hand knowledge to others in a clear and concise manner, their commitment to address issues of current concern, and their willingness to interact with participants.
Three morning didactic sessions and
an afternoon of interactive round-table sessions leave ample time for exploring the beautiful island setting of The Bahamas and the exciting Atlantis Resort. The balanced schedule allows for enjoyment of the locale as well as continued discussion relating to the
conference topics.
