Needs Assessment

ASRM 2024 Scientific Congress & Expo is focused on “Equity, Access, and Innovation.” This comprehensive program caters to the educational and career development needs of professionals across the field of reproductive medicine. This inclusive program offers skill-building through advanced hands-on courses, profession-specific breakout sessions, interactive symposia, dynamic sessions led by experts in our field, and hot-topic special sessions.

The meeting advances knowledge related to all areas of reproductive medicine, from female and male fertility and infertility to menopause, cryopreservation, and innovative research moving the field forward. Attendees will identify and gain strategies to improve access to reproductive health services while exploring the unique needs of diverse populations and marginalized communities. Experts will share experiences through case-based learning and lead discussions around the ethical and legal issues impacting clinical care. The ASRM 2024 Scientific Congress & Expo will arm attendees with cutting-edge approaches to advance their practice, increase awareness of artificial intelligence (AI) to better serve patients, and share knowledge about advancements in reproductive medicine.
