ALL THREE PROGRAMS
March 16–21, 2014
In the Update in Obstetrics and Gynecology Course, respected leaders in ob/gyn will present current information to help providers of
women’s health manage a variety of clinical situations that occur throughout the adult female lifecycle. The format allows for maximum
faculty/attendee dialogue through lectures as well as interactive discussions. The program is designed to foster learning and reflection
and benefit travelers while allowing for the most efficient use of time away from practice. The program offers flexibility by starting on a
Sunday and ending on Friday. As the course is sub-divided into 3 sections (Clinical Obstetrics, Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery,
Urogynecology and Gynecologic Oncology, and Reproductive Biology) there is also the flexibility of attending the entire course or only
that section(s) most beneficial to that practitioner.
