Pacific Coast Reproductive Society (PCRS): Annual Meeting

The 2014 PCRS Program Chair, our 2014 President, plus the members of the CME Committee are recognized experts in the field of reproductive medicine. Based on their review of the data collected from the sources above, the following practice gaps have been identified:

(A) Advances in reproductive medicine:The field of reproductive medicine is a blend of both clinical and basic science. A strong understanding of each is required to deliver optimal patient care. Gaps in the advancing knowledge base must be filled through specific CME activities.

(B) Best practices in foundational care:Health care providers have a natural tendency to develop patterns in treating common medical conditions. Such foundational care must be regularly reviewed as a means of migrating to best practices. Ongoing education in basic reproductive medicine aims to eliminate antiquated practice patterns.

(C) Open collaboration:Busy clinicians and researchers frequently lack opportunities for open collaboration. CME activities should encourage interaction as a means of sparking new ideas, research directives and creative solutions to common problems.
