Contraceptive Technology
Date/Location #1: Date: March 7-10, 2012 in San Francisco, CA
Date/Location #2: March 28-31, 2012 in Boston, MA
"Let's get serious" is the refrain for the 2012 Contraceptive Technology conferences. How long have we been hearing the following: that half of all pregnancies are unintended, that too many women use contraception inconsistently or incorrectly, that clinicians "must" perform a list of screening measures at specific intervals, and that the best guidance we have on contraceptives for women with medical conditions is the WHO criteria written for global audiences? The speakers at this year's conferences will bring cut-to-the-chase information that may just shake up the way you've been practicing.
