Description

+ Include: 4 videos, size: 16.07 GB

+ Target Audience: reproductive endocrinologists/infertility specialists, maternal–fetal medicine and obstetrics teams, neonatologists, embryologists

+ Sample video: contact me for sample video

+ Information:

A multidisciplinary program exploring clinical, ethical, and communication challenges at the intersection of high-risk pregnancy and reproductive medicine. Faculty translate current evidence and policy into clear care pathways that respect patient autonomy while optimizing maternal–fetal outcomes.

What You Will Learn

• Risk stratification for high-risk pregnancy in fertility patients (age, multiples, medical comorbidity, prior loss, ART-specific risks)

• Shared decision-making frameworks that balance maternal preferences, fetal considerations, and guideline standards

• Counseling for screening/diagnostics (NIPT, CVS, amniocentesis), prenatal imaging, and interpretation under uncertainty

• Management of obstetric complications relevant to ART: hypertensive disorders, GDM, preterm birth, placenta previa/accreta, growth restriction, multiples reduction

• Ethics & law: consent, refusal of care, confidentiality, neonatal thresholds, and cross-border considerations

• Communication in complex scenarios: values clarification, interpreter use, decisional capacity, conflict resolution

• Perinatal palliative options, psychosocial support, and trauma-informed care

• Postpartum follow-up after high-risk pregnancy: cardiometabolic risk, contraception, interpregnancy planning, and fertility counseling

Event Details

• Format: Live, case-based lectures, debates, and interactive workshops

• Structure: Clinical risk → Diagnostics & counseling → Complications & pathways → Ethics & law → Communication & follow-up

• Takeaways: Checklists, counseling scripts, and decision aids suitable for clinic and MDT use

Who Should Attend
Reproductive endocrinologists/infertility specialists, maternal–fetal medicine and obstetrics teams, neonatologists, genetic counselors, embryologists, midwives/nurses, psychologists, ethicists, patient advocates, and trainees.

Why Attend

• Convert evolving evidence and policy into repeatable, autonomy-respecting workflows

• Improve counseling quality and documentation for high-stakes decisions

• Strengthen collaboration across fertility, obstetric, neonatal, and ethics teams

+ Topics:

• Preterm-birth prevention and cervical strategies; steroid and magnesium protocols

• Placental disorders and hemorrhage risk: imaging, referral timing, delivery planning

• Fetal growth restriction & Doppler surveillance; timing of delivery and escalation

• Multifetal pregnancy reduction: ethics, counseling, and procedural considerations

• Autonomy vs. beneficence tensions: refusal of recommended care, safeguarding, and documentation

• Perinatal palliative care; bereavement and mental-health pathways

• Postpartum cardiometabolic follow-up, lactation with comorbidities, contraception after high-risk pregnancy
