Uterus transplantation is an emerging field that has been shaped by a group of global pioneers performing most of these transplants as clinical trials. However, the field has rapidly moved out of the domain of pioneers and is reaching new patients, new providers, and new countries. In this webinar, we hear the perspectives of the next generation of medical professionals interested in growing the uterus transplant field across disciplines and across expertise as trainees or as faculty.
Learning Objectives
To learn how UTx has grown in the last 10 years since the first successful live birth in the world.
To learn how newcomers to the field are hearing about this emerging and exciting field.
To determine how newcomers to UTx can be supported by our professional society both at the trainee level as well as the faculty level.
