2023 PFD Week

PFD Week was created by AUGS to become the go-to meeting for health care professionals interested in or actively practicing Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery. The core of the meeting contains the traditional two and half days of scientific presentation with the addition of one day of surgical and clinical workshop sessions.

With this expanded focus, the meeting brings together physicians, physicians-in-training, researchers, physical therapists, advance nurse practitioners, physician assistants and nurse practitioners to collaborate, network and learn from each other’s expertise. PFD Week creates a forum to exchange knowledge, experience, and insights for the improvement of women’s urogynecologic care.

PFD Week is an inclusive meeting that offers access to internationally recognized leaders in the field and the opportunity to network with the most highly respected health professionals in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery.

The American Urogynecologic Society (AUGS) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians. 

AUGS designates this live activity for a maximum of 18.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™. Attendees should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

At the conclusion of this live activity, all participants will receive an e-mail containing a link to complete a course evaluation and receive their CME/Participation credits*.

*for non-physicians, this would be participation credits.
