Webinar Series: Physician Infertility-A Call To Action (CME)

Webinar Series: Physician Infertility-A Call To Action (CME)
Engage in this webinar to understand the heightened significance of prioritizing compliance and safeguarding your patient's privacy. While learning from personal experiences is crucial, gaining insights from others can assist in preventing costly fines and government-mandated corrective action plans during HIPAA investigations.
Webinar Series Graphic

Infertility is more prevalent in female physicians than in the U.S. general population. While pregnancy and its potential medical and career development consequences among physicians have been explored in the literature, infertility and its consequences remain understudied and unaddressed. Fertility issues are important for all physicians hoping to start families.

At the end of the presentation, learners will be able to:
  • Recognize higher infertility rates in female physicians vs. general population
  • Explore emotional, financial impacts and options for fertility preservation
  • Integrate fertility discussions into medical education; address risks and consequences
  • Review findings on physician fertility choices and impact on family planning

Participants will have the opportunity to submit questions for the Q&A session at the end of the webinar.
