Challenges in High Risk Obstetrics

Challenges in High Risk Obstetrics is organized by Symposia Medicus and will be held from Nov 03 - 10, 2022 at AmaWaterways - AmaKristina, Avignon, Provence-Alpes-Cote d Azur, France.

Conference Description:
Our conference on Challenges in High Risk Obstetrics is designed for physicians, certified nurse midwives, nurse practitioners, Physician Associates, nurses, and other allied healthcare professionals who manage preconception, pregnant, and postpartum patients. Covering a wide array of topics in High Risk Obstetrics, our expert faculty will discuss the latest evidence-based advancements, present emerging clinical data, and provide skills and strategies for application and implementation into your practice. This educational activity aims to increase both the competence and performance of all attendees as well as contribute to your ability to work together as part of a coordinated healthcare team.

Topics for this year’s conference have been selected based on the educational needs underlying identified professional practice gaps. The gaps were derived from a variety of sources including evaluations and outcomes data from past participants, clinical expert input, Symposia Medicus’ online survey, and other medical and nursing data such as current clinical guidelines, research findings, and literature reviews.

The conference format includes didactic and interactive lectures, question and answer sessions, and case studies. Following a group of lectures, the question and answer sessions allow attendees to ask the faculty critical and challenging questions about caring for patients during various obstetric situations.

An outstanding faculty has been assembled for this conference. Each faculty member was selected based on their individual area of expertise and ability to communicate current, evidence-based, and practical information to participants.
