Clinical Course in Reproductive Immunology

Virtual Option for International Attendees

In order to assist our international members who are facing higher than normal travel costs and would not be able to attend in-person as a result, ASRI has decided to offer a modified virtual option for the 2023 Clinical Course. The following parameters will apply to the virtual clinical course:

The Clinical Course sessions will be recorded – not live-streamed.
Access to the recordings will be available after the in-person meeting.
Only International Member attendees will be able to register for the virtual option (non-members must join ASRI)
Recordings will be available for a limited time

To register for the virtual option, you must: (1) confirm your ASRI membership is active (paid), (2) register and pay at the current member rate, and (3) contact manager@theasri.org to have your status confirmed and registration type changed to "Virtual Only".
