“Attending the ASRM meeting was an absolutely eye-opening experience. Not only was I immersed in the cutting edge technology and research presented by the leaders in the field of reproductive medicine, but I was also proud to see my own research come to life and contribute an improvement to the future of the field.”
—Annie Guedikian
“In October 2015 I had the exciting opportunity to attend the American Society for Reproductive Medicine Meeting in Baltimore. I was incredibly grateful and honored to have the opportunity to have my work presented among the leading physicians in reproductive medicine, and to be able to meet so many of the physician scientists that I have read about and admire.”
