This workshop will focus on determining when the acupuncturist should refer their patient to a reproductive endocrinologist.

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.
