This workshop will focus on determining when
the acupuncturist should refer their patient to a
reproductive endocrinologist. From the perspective
of those acupuncturists who focus on an integrative
fertility practice, Dr. Cedars will identify the newest
innovations offered to fertility patients, to include
infertility treatments and outcomes, chances of
pregnancy, ovulation induction, intrauterine insemination
(IUI)/In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF, medications in
current use for IVF cycles and their mechanisms of
action and side effects). Also discussed will be Intracytoplasmic
Sperm Injection (ICSI), newest assisted
reproductive techniques, Pre-Implantation Genetic
Diagnosis (PGD), where the goal is to transfer genetically
healthy embryos, as well as Oocyte freezing.
Attendees will leave this workshop with a grounded
understanding of the role and function of the endocrinologist
within your fertility practice. |
