Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (10th International Scientific Meeting 2012)

The project opted to hold a session at this meeting due to the potential advocacy role RCOG delegates can play in the international obs/gyn arena. The project sought to hold a similar meeting at the ACOG Annual Clinical Meeting for the same reasons but was not granted a session in 2012.
