Andrology SIG
The Andrology SIG has been an active participant at the annual CFAS meetings since its inception in 2008. The aim of the Andrology SIG is to promote the field of Andrology and disseminate the latest advances in this area to Canadian clinicians, scientists and allied professionals working in reproductive biology. The Andrology SIG also acts as a resource for Canadian health care professionals and promotes the exchange of ideas and information in this field. At the last three annual CFAS meetings, the Andrology and ART laboratory SIGs have held joint sessions at the ART Professionals day in order to enhance the educational experience and increase the profile of these two SIGs. Once again, the Andrology and ART laboratory SIGs will hold a joint session at the ART Professionals day at the upcoming CFAS meeting in Toronto (September 2016).
