ASRM 2026 Scientific Congress & Expo

Needs Assessment

As reproductive medicine continues to rapidly evolve, healthcare professionals are challenged to evaluate emerging technologies and treatment strategies, apply expanding evidence to clinical and laboratory practice, and collaborate across disciplines to deliver equitable, patient-centered care. Educational activities are needed to strengthen critical thinking, support informed clinical decision-making, and help learners translate new scientific discoveries into meaningful improvements in practice.

ASRM 2026 Scientific Congress & Expo, themed Discovery, Innovation, and Advancement, is designed to actively engage learners through interactive, evidence-based educational experiences that foster collaboration, discussion, and practical application. Through plenary lectures, debates, case-based discussions, translational research presentations, moderated conversations, and interdisciplinary sessions, participants will examine emerging evidence, explore innovative technologies, challenge current perspectives, and discuss evolving approaches that will shape the future of reproductive medicine.

This activity is intended to enhance learners’ competence and confidence in evaluating new evidence, integrating innovative clinical and laboratory strategies, navigating ethical and regulatory considerations, strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration, and applying advances in reproductive medicine to improve patient outcomes, expand access to care, and advance healthcare quality. Learners will also engage in interactive sessions that incorporate global perspectives, real-world practice insights, and collaborative discussion to support shared learning and advancement of the field.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, learners should be able to:

1. Evaluate emerging scientific discoveries, clinical research, and technological innovations shaping the future of reproductive medicine and fertility care.
2. Assess the clinical applications of artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, regenerative medicine, reproductive genetics, and advanced laboratory technologies in reproductive healthcare practice.
3. Apply evidence-based strategies for the diagnosis, management, and treatment of complex reproductive conditions, including recurrent pregnancy loss, implantation failure, infertility, endometriosis, adenomyosis, male infertility, and premature ovarian insufficiency.
4. Integrate interdisciplinary and patient-centered approaches to improve reproductive outcomes, patient communication, and continuity of care across diverse patient populations.
5. Examine ethical, psychosocial, legal, regulatory, and health equity considerations related to reproductive technologies, third-party reproduction, genetic testing, digital health, and evolving models of care.
6. Identify innovative strategies to expand access to reproductive healthcare through advocacy, telehealth, mobile care delivery, and collaborative practice models.
7. Discuss leadership, mentorship, career development, and team-based approaches that support professional growth and advancement in reproductive medicine.
8. Incorporate advances in imaging, embryology, laboratory science, and minimally invasive techniques into clinical and procedural decision-making to optimize patient outcomes.

ASRM 2026 Master Class

Needs Assessment

Rapid advances in reproductive medicine, evolving technologies, and increasingly complex patient care require healthcare professionals to continuously expand their knowledge and skills. ASRM educational needs assessments, learner feedback, and emerging trends have identified a demand for advanced educational programming that goes beyond foundational knowledge and focuses on practical application, clinical excellence, and innovation.

ASRM Masterclass Summit was developed to address these needs by providing an immersive learning experience that enhances clinical expertise, strengthens professional competencies, and exposes learners to emerging evidence and global perspectives. Through a combination of expert-led presentations, interactive skills-based workshops, and international collaborations, participants will gain practical knowledge, refine clinical and laboratory skills, and explore innovative approaches to reproductive healthcare.

By participating, learners will be better equipped to apply evidence-based practices, integrate new developments into patient care, collaborate across disciplines, and advance the future of reproductive medicine.

• Evaluate emerging evidence, innovative technologies, and global perspectives in reproductive medicine and assess their application to clinical, laboratory, and healthcare delivery practices.
• Apply evidence-based strategies to enhance patient care, clinical decision-making, and operational excellence across reproductive healthcare and laboratory settings.
• Develop and apply practical clinical, laboratory, and operational skills to address contemporary challenges and improve outcomes in reproductive healthcare.
• Navigate complex regulatory, ethical, legal, and safety challenges while implementing best practices that support compliance, quality, and patient safety.
• Strengthen communication, advocacy, and interdisciplinary collaboration skills to improve patient experience, support colleagues, and foster high-performing healthcare teams.
• Advance professional growth and leadership capabilities by developing practical skills in teaching, resilience, well-being, practice management, and strategic innovation.
