Celebrating the 10th Annual
Jefferson Infertility Counseling Conference

From our humble origins in a small Jefferson classroom ten years ago, JICC has established itself as THE conference to find the most up-to-date, evidence-based, and clinically innovative information for those who provide mental health or psychosocial support to infertility patients. The conference combines cutting-edge expert lectures, with highly interactive learning opportunities through small group learning sessions, patient panels, and multiple networking opportunities to enhance targeted learning— all in a welcoming, informal setting.

Overall Conference Objectives:

At the conclusion, participants should be able to: 

• Summarize male reproductive health policies and psychosocial issues for donors and recipients
