The Taiwanese Society of Reproductive Medicine (TSRM) held a continuing medical education (CME) program in Taipei on 16 January with a focus on ART treatment in women of advanced reproductive age.
American obstetrician-gynaecologist, Dr Norbert Gleicher, spoke about the management of older couples in assisted reproductive technology treatment and those with very low AMH levels while Professor Siladitya Bhattacharya, Head of the School of Medical Sciences and Nutrition at the University of Aberdeen, discussed how long IVF treatment could be delayed without compromising success rates.
The Fertility Society of the Republic of China presented a meeting in February featuring Dr Robert Fisher, founder and medical director of the Fertility Centre Hamburg in Germany, who talked about Delphi consensus on ART practice and Japanese fertility specialist, Dr Hisao Osada, demonstrated laparoscopically assisted adenomyomectomy by using the triple-flap method.
On 6 March, the TSRM held an assisted reproductive technology laboratory meeting with Dr Nathan Treff, Director of Molecular Biology Research and Reproductive Medicine in New Jersey, addressing the topic Polygenic Screening of Embryos: What Do We Need To Know?
Professor Arthur Chang from the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at the University of Texas Health Science Centre discussed common practices among consistently high-performing IVF programs as a guide for embryology laboratories.
