We invite you to attend EndoFound's 16th Annual Meeting in New York City Friday, February 28, to Sunday, March 2, 2025. This weekend is dedicated to advancing education, research, and awareness in the fight against endometriosis.
This year’s theme, "Your Mother Should Know," inspired by The Beatles, highlights the critical need for early detection and diagnosis. Over the course of three days, we will explore the latest breakthroughs in diagnosing, managing, and treating endometriosis, with a focus on cutting-edge topics such as imaging, artificial intelligence, immunological markers, the microbiome, gut symptoms, family awareness, genetics, epigenetics, and the impact of family history.
Whether you are a medical professional, patient, caregiver, or advocate, this event offers a valuable opportunity to expand your knowledge, connect with others who share your concerns, and contribute to meaningful change in the field of endometriosis care.
The 16th Annual Medical Conference is open to the public and medical professionals, offering CME credits for physicians and nurses. This conference provides an opportunity to learn from leading experts, stay informed about the latest research, and gain practical insights into improving patient outcomes.
