KEEPR Take-Aways for ASRM 2024

1. Choose a learning objective listed in the program from each session you attend (plenary and symposia) and discuss how it will impact your approach to clinical practice now that you have participated in the session.
2. Summarize a concept/issue/idea that you came away with after attending the lunchtime program that will help you move forward in your practice/career.
3. Explain either a realization about the field of reproductive medicine that you are taking away from attending a poster or oral abstract session or explain what research innovation/discovery you learned about and how that may impact your future clinical practice from attending a poster or oral abstract session.
4. Reflect on your overall experience for the day. For example, what did you find most informative or helpful, what would you like to see more of, what did you wish there were improvements in, and what new activity/opportunity would you like to experience at ASRM 2025?
