The eleventh Annual ART of Donor Oocytes and Third Party Reproduction Conference will be held February 26, 2009 through March 1, 2009, at the Charleston Place Hotel in beautiful Charleston, South Carolina. The symposium will focus on the technology of oocyte donation and third party reproduction in assisted reproductive technology. A nationally recognized faculty will address the needs of reproductive endocrinologists, fellows, residents, laboratory professionals, nurses and mental health professionals in this rapidly expanding segment of in-vitro fertilization. The symposium format will allow the participants direct input into each faculty member's presentation. The symposium's roundtable breakfast and panel discussion luncheons will provide an opportunity for extensive contact between course faculty and participants. A comprehensive syllabus developed by the course faculty will also be provided.

Educational Objectives:

Upon the conclusion of this symposium, the participant will be able to:

• Explain clinical, psychological, and laboratory techniques to maximize success with third party reproduction.
• Debate current and future alternatives to third party reproduction.
• Relate and employ new knowledge into practice.
• Discuss legal aspects of third party reproduction.

We will once again be offering a mini symposium entitled “Donor Eggs 101” the evening before the conference begins. The mini symposium is designed to aid in the development of a new donor egg program and help new members of the donor egg team. It will address the basics of egg donation such as how to advertise for donors, the step by step donor screening process, synchronization of the donor and recipient, stimulations, embryology and embryo transfer. It will be at the Charleston Place Hotel from 4:00pm to 7:00pm. You must pre-register for this symposium. Participants who choose to attend the Donor Eggs 101 Mini Symposium will receive an additional 3 AMA PRA Category 1 credits™ or 3 contact hours.
