This
is a joint FIGO/SMFM Postgraduate Course were the participant not only will
learn the latest scientific news on preterm delivery from both a US and
International point of view. World-leading experts will give a comprehensive
overview of the etiology, genetics, public health issues, screening, prevention
and research strategies in relation to preterm delivery.
This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education through the joint providership of Global Learning Collaborative (GLC) and SMFM. GLC is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
Global Learning Collaborative designates this enduring material for a maximum of 7 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Compare preterm delivery rates between different parts of the world and understand how they are achieved and/or estimated.
- Describe the new knowledge on etiology of preterm delivery and to specify the pros and cons with different screening strategies to identify women with increased risk of preterm delivery.
- Discuss the latest knowledge about medical and public health prevention strategies of preterm delivery – both from the US and international perspective.
- Recognize the different obstacles for reducing preterm delivery rates in Latin America, Africa, Australia, Europe and the US. The participants will also be able to recognize the different obstacles in preterm delivery research.
- Discuss different risk factors contribute to the variation of preterm delivery rates in high-income countries.
