27th Annual Conference on High Risk & Critical Care Obstetrics

The 27th Annual Conference on High Risk & Critical Care Obstetrics is organized by Symposia Medicus and will be held from May 19 - 21, 2022 at Fairmont San Francisco, San Francisco, California, United States of America.

Target Audience:
 

This program is designed for physicians, certified nurse midwives, nurse practitioners,, physician associates, nurses, and other allied healthcare professionals who care for pregnant women with high risk of preterm birth.

Conference Description:
Our expert faculty will discuss the latest evidence-based advancements in obstetric care, present emerging clinical data, and provide skills and strategies for application and implementation into your practise, covering a wide range of topics such as obesity, trauma, EFM, healthcare disparities, hypertension, and gestational diabetes. This educational activity aims to improve all attendees' competence and performance, as well as their ability to collaborate as part of a coordinated healthcare team.

The topics for this year's conference were chosen based on the educational needs underlying identified professional practise gaps. The gaps were derived from a variety of sources, including past participants' evaluations and outcomes data, clinical expert input, Symposia Medicus' online survey, and other medical and nursing data such as current clinical guidelines, research findings, literature reviews, and patient safety considerations.

For this conference, a distinguished faculty has been organised. Each faculty member was chosen for their specific area of expertise as well as their ability to provide current, evidence-based, and practical knowledge to participants. The conference will consist of didactic presentations, question & answer sessions, case studies, and small group breakout sessions. Following a series of lectures, attendees can ask the faculty critical and challenging questions regarding care for patients in diverse obstetric settings during question and answer sessions.
