From the Start: Innovations in the Care of Congenital Anomalies Before, During and After Birth Conference

Thursday, May 2, 2024, 8:30 AM - Saturday, May 4, 2024, 11:30 AM, Hub Conference Hall, Main Hospital, Philadelphia, PA


This three-day conference will enhance knowledge in maternal-fetal care and overall pregnancy
outcomes, particularly as it relates to fetal intervention and maternal, fetal, and neonatal
outcomes. Each day will be divided into segments of care, from fetal surveillance to maternal/
fetal outcomes for a variety of conditions diagnosed in utero. Topics will include fetal treatments, risks and benefits to both the mother and fetus. Each segment will culminate with breakthroughs in research and care through “FetalTED” presentations. The integration of this knowledge can improve patient experience, clinical knowledge and long-term maternal/fetal outcomes.
