You're Invited!

Attend the 10th annual national conference, Office Gynecology, where your clinical challenges will be addressed, the latest research will be translated into practical clinical application, and evidence-based approaches for managing a variety of health issues women face will be presented. Designed for MDs, NPs, CNMs, PAs and RNs from women's health and family practice settings, this conference brings together a stellar panel of clinician experts to address the clinical challenges you manage daily. Bring your questions and puzzling cases …our dynamic faculty will give you answers and guidance.

Highlights of the 2012 Conference Include:

• A number of "Hot Topics," issues you deal with in your every day practice, addressed in a variety of teaching formats, including didactic sessions, faculty panels, Concurrent Sessions, interactive case study discussions and skills labs.
• A stellar panel of faculty experts who will share their perspectives and insights on providing comprehensive, evidence-based care for women.
• An optional Special Session NEXPLANON® Clinical Training, where you will learn insertion and removal procedures for the next generation of this long-acting method of contraception, providing your patients with another option and your practice with additional revenue.

95% of the clinicians who responded to our post-conference survey for the 2011 "Office Gynecology" conference said they had made changes in practice based on what they learned and that those changes had positively impacted the health of their patients.
