PREPARING THOUGHT LEADERS IN REPRODUCTIVE MEDICINE

This program is supported by Illumina, Inc. and Integrated Genetics through an educational grant.

We are proud to announce the first annual offering ofBoot Camp: A Short Course on Genetics and Genomics

Preparing Thought Leaders in Reproductive Medicine

We have assembled an outstanding faculty of leading experts for this one week, interactive and intensive short course in genetics and genomics as it relates to reproductive medicine. The course will provide a comprehensive overview of inheritance, genetic disease, cyto-, molecular and clinical genetics, and the most up-to-date information on the latest in next generation sequencing and genetic testing. The program includes lectures, symposia, workshops, laboratory demonstrations, case reviews, panels, and a number of distinguished speakers. We have a large and diverse faculty and a curriculum that will allow substantial faculty-student interaction. With only 30 attendees, we are able to conduct hands on workshops and discussions exploring genomic technologies and

case-based learning. Molecular technologies will be emphasized. Boot Camp is limited to 30 clinical fellows or physicians in their first two years of an academic faculty appointment who are recommended by their chair or fellowship director. The program is geared to maternal fetal medicine, reproductive endocrinology, gynecologic oncology and general obstetrics and gynecology physicians. Through unrestricted educational grants, we have created an opportunity for tuition free education that includes support for lodging and some meals. The New York Genome Center in lower Manhattan has generously agreed to host this inaugural event.

Apply online by March 15, 2019Selected physicians will be notified by April 15, 2019

Mary E. Norton MDUC San Francisco

Dr. Mary Norton is a perinatologist and geneticist, and is a Professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences at UCSF. She is Director of the Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine and co-Director of the UCSF Center for Maternal-Fetal Precision Medicine. Her clinical and research interests include

genetic testing and its application to prenatal screening and diagnosis. She focuses on the unique aspects of translating new genetic and genomic technologies into improved care for pregnant women and their fetuses. Much of her research has involved cell free DNA screening and implementation into practice, as well as patient and provider education regarding prenatal genetics’ generally, and cfDNA specifically.

Ronald J. Wapner, MDColumbia University

Dr. Ron Wapner is the Director of Reproductive Genetics and the Vice Chair of Research in Obstetrics and Gynecology for Columbia University Irving Medical Center. Dr. Wapner is an internationally known physician and researcher specializing in reproductive genetics. He pioneered the development of chorionic villus

sampling (CVS) and multi-fetal reduction. He has authored or co-authored over 400 publications and he has been an active investigator in the area of Maternal-Fetal Medicine and recently led a multicenter study evaluating the accuracy, efficacy, and clinical advantages of prenatal diagnosis using microarray analysis. He has had a significant role in the development of multidisciplinary research studies and clinical research centers throughout his career.

Boot Camp: A Short Course on Genetics and Genomics is designed for physicians in reproductive medicine seeking to expand their knowledge of advances in genetics and genomics. Join us for this exciting inaugural program that will allow attendees the opportunity to delve into genetics and genomics and to learn from some of the leaders in the field.
