2025 Perinatal Medicine Conference

2025 Perinatal Medicine Conference is organized by Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC) and will be held from Jan 20 - 23, 2025 at Hyatt Regency Maui Resort And Spa, Lahaina, Hawaii, United States of America.

Description:
This course offers a review of important and timely topics in the field of perinatal medicine. Based on a review of the literature, input from our own expert faculty, and analyses from past conferences, we are proud to offer a comprehensive program with topics including: evidence-based guidelines and standardized safety principles for managing cervical length abnormalities and preterm birth; disparities in maternal health; fetal growth restriction; effective management of shoulder dystocia; and trauma informed care. In addition, evidence is examined to set a practical, clinical approach to antibiotic management, diabetes, and labor induction. Valuable insights are provided into various mental health conditions in pregnancy and postpartum. Lectures by faculty from the Keck School of Medicine of USC and distinguished guest faculty from the Thomas Jefferson School of Medicine and Cedars Sinai Medical Center outline controversies, discuss recent developments, and suggest recommendations. Participants have direct access to the speakers and ample opportunity for intensive question and answer post-lecture discussions.
