SPECIAL FOCUS GROUPSThursday, February 5, 11:30am–1:00pmResearch Support Personnel and Investigators Box Lunch Meeting Laurie Lesher, MBA, BSN, CCRPTopic: Research and Residency: Working Hand in HandSpeakers: Marie Gibson CCRP, Research Compliance Manager, University of Utah OBGYNIn a collaborative setting, we will discuss opportunities and tools used to educate and support residents with their research re-quirements. We recognize many interns begin residency with little research background and knowledge. We will share tools our re-search group developed to assist residents in identifying a research project and mentor, navigating the world of regulatory and compli-ance requirements, project conduct, close out and how to present research findings. This is done in a positive, interactive environment with support throughout the entire project. This forum is meant to provide and share our ideas and positive results we have had with our residents and their research. Research support staff, residents, fellows and faculty will take away valuable information.

The Pregnancy Foundation EventsQueenan EventDr. John T. Queenan has spent his career in academic medicine initially focused on pioneering work in diagnosis and treatment of the fetus. He has been dedicated to providing the best and most up to date education for obstetricians and gynecologists with an emphasis on the delivery of this education in a simple straightfor-ward manner. As his career advanced, he developed a passion for international public health and therefore the Queenan Fellow-ships for Global Health is a fitting capstone to his career. The vision of the Queenan Fellowships for Global Health is to train leaders in maternal-fetal medicine who will advance the practice of obstet-rics through novel education and research in underserved areas around the world. Please join The Pregnancy Foundation and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine in recognizing Dr. Queenan and help establish the Queenan Fellowships for Global Health by attending a fundraising dinner in his honor on Thursday, February 5th at 7:00 PM. You may purchase a dinner ticket or tribute package and donate to the program. Ticket pricing and tribute packages are listed on the meeting registration form. A Pregnancy Foundation representa-tive will contact you via e-mail to obtain all attendee names. Please contact The Pregnancy Foundation Administrator at 202-314-2307 or [email protected] with any dietary restriction information or for additional questions.

5K Run/Walk for AndyPlease join the Pregnancy Foundation at 6:30am on Saturday, Feb-ruary 7th for our 5K Run/Walk in memory of Dr. Andy Helfgott.

Therefore, we will reinstate the 5K Run/Walk event at our annual meeting in San Diego as a tribute to Andy. Please join us in honoring the memory of Dr. Andy Helfgott and in supporting the Pregnancy Foundation and its programs.
