Course description
This course aims to cover the interesting area of ovarian stimulation, more specifically the highs and the lows..., and this from basic physiology to current treatment and beyond. The style would be a mixture of lectures and case discussions, aiming to encourage active discussion.
Target audience
Reproductive endocrinologists, physicians and scientists in reproductive medicine, nurses
Educational needs and expected outcomes
Given the knowledge gaps and non consensus in many aspects of treatment, this precongress course aims to address the needs by active participation of delegates in discussion throughout the programme. This course will provide knowledge on the extremes of ovarian stimulation and will cover the following educational needs basic ovarian and stimulation physiology, covering current and cutting edge technology with regard to low and high responder patients.
A broad range of speakers with diverse knowledge and experience to share with delegates. We will cover basics but would also progress to current cutting edge technology, with the purpose to get back to your practice with innovative ideas.
Innovative aspects of the course
The innovative aspect this year is the special attention to case discussions from daily practice, which will certainly encourage interaction among the participants.
