IIRRM offers ongoing continuing medical education in Restorative Reproductive Medicine.  Webinars are approved for 1.0 prescribed credit(s) by the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP).  

Journal Club sessions provide a critical appraisal of published research relevant to the field of restorative reproductive medicine. These sessions are designed to increase providers’ competence to critically evaluate research by increasing their knowledge of the scientific method, research design, and common biases. Improvements in knowledge and competence will translate into improvements in clinician performance as they use their understanding of research to provide better care and communication to their patients and apply the results from research to clinical practice. These sessions also offer an excellent opportunity to discuss our work.

Each month new peer-reviewed research is selected to discuss, led by an IIRRM member or member of the Board.  Research Updates replaces IIRRM Journal Club quarterly. For upcoming dates register here.  Additional series run separately in Ukrainian and Spanish.
