Abstract

Conferences serve an essential means of learning and staying up to date in all aspects of medicine. Reproductive endocrinology and infertility is a young and constantly evolving field. The Midwest Reproductive Symposium International (MRSi) is a yearly conference held in Chicago, IL, and is one of the most intimate yet influential conferences in the fertility world. This conference is geared towards all professions and roles in the fertility world such as physicians, geneticists, nurses, allied health professionals, basic scientists, mental health professionals, business administration professionals, reproductive endocrinology and infertility fellows, and obstetrics and gynecology residents alike. The goal of MRSi is to continue to understand this revolutionary field in order to improve patient outcomes while staying up to date with the latest technology.

Keywords: Continued medical education; Genetics; In vitro fertilization; Infertility; PGT-A; Reproductive endocrine; Technology.
