(Daytime Session) Fertility for Every Rehab
Professional: Your Role in The Journey

Description

*This webinar is scheduled for 1:00 PM EDT / 10:00 AM PDT

You asked, we listened! We’re excited to offer a daytime webinar session to support different schedules. This webinar is offered twice (evening and daytime); please register for only one that fits your schedule. You will only receive CE for one.

One in six couples faces infertility, which means patients in your caseload are already navigating it, often silently. Yet most rehabilitation professionals were never taught where rehabilitation intersects with reproductive health, or what they can appropriately say and do when a patient trying to conceive is sitting in front of them.

This introductory webinar closes that gap. In sixty minutes, you will learn how movement, body composition, metabolic health, and stress influence fertility for patients of every gender; how to recognize common presentations such as PCOS and male-factor risk; and exactly where your scope ends and a referral begins. You will leave with a clear, evidence-based framework you can use right away—no specialty certification required.

Designed for PTs, PTAs, OTs, OTAs, and rehabilitation professionals across outpatient, orthopedic, neurologic, pelvic, and wellness settings, this session reveals the role you already hold in the fertility journey, and how to step into it with confidence.

Instructor

Learning Objectives

• Recognize the basic physiology of conception and the primary female and male factors that contribute to infertility.

• Outline the rehabilitation clinician’s scope of practice and appropriate referral pathways within the fertility care team.
