NASPAG Virtual Meeting

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the 35th NASPAG Annual Clinical Research Meeting, and our first ever virtual meeting. Our theme this year is “Finding Strength in Connections” as we plan to bring together the various disciplines that address the medical and surgical care of girls and young women, in an effort to optimize their reproductive health.

Many in our community missed the opportunity to engage with peers during the 2020 ACRM. Even though we are not able to meet in person in 2021, the exchange of research, best practices, and clinical findings is more important than ever. NASPAG is committed to making sure the 2021 ACRM continues to deliver the most up to date content, as well as make sure our members have the chance to network, exchange ideas and stay connected to our fellow NASPAG colleagues and friends. With these goals in mind, all meeting content presented throughout each day of the conference will have some interactive portions. Registrants will also be able to view all presentations on demand.

We hope that this virtual event will provide you with the opportunity to once again learn, engage, and connect with the NASPAG community and colleagues from across the country and around the globe.

Start following us now on #VirtualNASPAG2021!

Sincerely,
Rupa DeSilva MD & Mary Romano, MD, MPH 2021 ACRM Program Committee Co-Chair
