CONFERENCE SPEAKER
“DOES THE 510 (k) PROCESS PROVE SAFETY OR EFFECTIVENESS?”
|
|
| Women and men have sought medical help for minor problems and have ended up with life-long pain and many surgeries. This week the FDA has recognized that some medical products being sold are not proven safe or effective. It’s essential to act quickly to protect patients.” Dr. Diana Zuckerman, President, National Research Center for Women and Families, September 25, 2009

CONFERENCE SPEAKER
"INFORMED CONSENT OR VALID CONSENT?"
|
“Ethics and evidence-based medicine intersect in crucial ways – but perhaps the most important is the role of informed consent. Patients need to know what they’re agreeing to, and doctors need to be sure to tell them.” Kenneth W. Goodman, PhD, Professor and Director, Bioethics Program, Co-Director, Ethics Programs, University of Miami, September 25, 2009

CONFERENCE SPEAKER
“ALTERNATIVES & OPTIONS TO SURGICAL PROCEDURES”
|
|
“We have had far too much “experimentation” on women in how their pelvic health is addressed without sufficient support or direction of what is best for each woman. For something as fundamental to humanity and procreation as female pelvic health and the consequences of childbirth, why has it taken so long for society to take notice, take action, and take responsibility?” Nancy Muller, Executive Director, NAFC, September 25, 2009
THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ALL OUR NOTABLE SPEAKERS!
YOU ALL MADE THE CONFERENCE GREAT!
