OUTGOING PRESIDENT’SMESSAGEAs outgoing PCRS President, I had the distinct honor of serving for two years... but only
due to an unforeseen COVID pandemic. In early 2020, I was fielding calls, texts, andemails regarding whether PCRS would be cancelled. I reassured all that I could not
imagine a cancellation. Mere weeks later, due to rising case numbers, we were forced
to cancel. The following year, we were hopeful and almost certain that our beloved
conference would be in person, but as the months approached, and the cases spikingdue to new virus variants, we were forced to pivot to a virtual conference. Tack onsocial injustices, political polarization, and economic instability, one can view 2020 and2021 as a difficult era in our history.
However, I see the opposite. We humans are incredible in our resilience, adaptability,and drive for good. Through a devastating pandemic, our world scientists andbiomedical companies responded with unprecedented speed, creating several vaccines,
and vaccinating millions, giving us hope of ending, or at least managing, COVID.
Through social injustices, we reacted with rapid social reform, though we have a long
way to go. While we have never been so politically polarized, our democracy spoke, andheld strong. And although we cancelled one meeting and had an all-virtual last
meeting, we learned we could provide outstanding content to our PCRS community. In
fact, because it was so well received, we plan on providing both an in-person andvirtual experience for our attendees. As the brilliant and creative Doctor John Frattarelli
takes over as President, I cannot wait to attend what will undoubtedly be an incredible
PCRS 2022 meeting.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Aloha PCRS ‘Ohana,During the past two years, we have suffered through an unprecedented challenge topublic health. The pandemic has had a global impact on the loss of human life. We
have universally felt some sense of isolation, endured strained relationships, andgrievously experienced the loss of family members and friends. We are now hopefully
moving to a more endemic phase and can once again gather and network for thebenefit of our patients and ourselves.
It is incredulous that our last in-person PCRS meeting was in 2019. Yes -we were forced
to cancel the 2020 meeting secondary to the COVID-19 pandemic. The PCRS Presidentfor 2020 (and subsequently 2021), Mousa Shamonki, along with the PCRS Board ofDirectors and Planning Committee did an exceptional job with the 2021 PCRS virtualconference.
At this point in the pandemic, we are all anxious to return to something the resembles
our pre-pandemic lives. Luckily, the 70th Annual Pacific Coast Reproductive Society isquickly approaching. I am sure that everyone is eagerly looking forward to being
together once again in Palm Springs! There is no better place to have one of our firstin-person meetings since the pandemic began.
For the upcoming meeting in March 2022, we have many wonderful presentations anddebates scheduled. Some of the amazing topics include: genetics and gene editing,embryo selection, at home testing, implantation failure, male fertility, health caredisparities, mental health, fertility issues in the LGBTQ community, third party
reproduction, ART laboratory, legal issues, SART, and many others. Our ResearchCommittee awarded two deserving scientists with the inaugural PCRS research awards.
We look forward to hearing about their research at our meeting. Please look for theF&S On Air at PCRS which will be a mix of planned and spontaneous interviews
highlighting the science being disseminated at the conference.
I would like to commend our exceptional Board of Directors and recommend that all
PCRS members become familiar with the members of the Board. A list of the Board
members can be found on the PCRS website. The March 2022 PCRS meeting is a great
opportunity to network with the Board, presenters, and attendees.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE CONTD.

PCRS is a multidisciplinary medical society and has always welcomed and included
the allied health professionals at our meetings. Over the years, the allied healthprofessionals have increasingly played more indispensable roles within theReproductive Endocrinology and Infertility practice. Our specialty is rapidly
evolving and more clinics are incorporating Advanced Practice Providers as part oftheir evaluation and treatment team. As such, PCRS enthusiastically announcesthat in addition to our Fellows, Laboratory, Nursing, and Genetic Counsellor
events we are actively working to include an Advanced Practice Provider
component to the PCRS meetings.
The 2022 PCRS Growing Families Through Compassionate Care, ART, & Science isa can’t-miss event for you and your families. In addition to the daily pool time,
the Thursday evening the PCRS Welcome Reception will be held on the Rose
Lawn, complete with Leis and Mai Tais. Friday night there will be a family-friendly
movie on the Rose Lawn, and Saturday there will be Family Fun Time at the pool.
Likewise, make sure that you bring your favorite Hawaiian shirt(s) for the Saturdaynight Awards Dinner: Hawaiian Luau. This will be a very casual and family-centric
Hawaiian Luau during which we will acknowledge the 2022 award winners andcelebrate the end of a memorable meeting.
As always, the conference agenda on Sunday includes some exciting and timely
topics for discussion. Make sure not to miss the Sunday Brunch Program with apresentation on “Automation and Artificial Intelligence in within the REI field.” I
look forward to seeing everyone in March. Until then, please take care and besafe.
