Despite scientific advances in clinical teratology, exposures prior to and during pregnancy still cause great anxiety and misunderstanding among both the public and health care professionals. Attendees will develop skills to interpret and communicate the vast, conflicting scientific data into individual risk assessments. Empowered by a clearer understanding of the reproductive effects of a specific exposure and the integration of this information into a meaningful "answer" for an individual or family, attendees will be prepared to counsel clients to avoid teratogenic exposures when possible, manage medical conditions with the safest known treatment and make informed reproductive choices.
