OUTGOING PRESIDENT’SMESSAGE
Aloha PCRS Ohana,Wow, the past three years have been the most unique and challenging times that many of us have everfaced in our personal and professional careers. However, the world has persevered, and so have we as areproductive society. At our 70th Annual Pacific Coast Reproductive Society meeting in March 2022, we
held the first in-person PCRS meeting since 2019, and with 410 attendees, we had record attendance. It
was truly invigorating to interact in person once again.
Over the past year, there have been many new initiatives within the Pacific Coast Reproductive Society.
The most significant is the advanced practice provider initiative and the PCRS research grant awards.
PCRS has always celebrated and welcomed the role that allied and other health professionals afford inproviding care to patients within the REI practice. More and more REI practices are utilizing advanced
practice providers to support patient care. This past year, PCRS launched an initiative to focus on andinclude the advanced practice providers even more within our curriculum. Thanks to a Ferring
Pharmaceuticals’ Educational Grant, PCRS was enthusiastically offered the inaugural PCRS research grants
immediately following the 2021 meeting. PCRS awarded a total of $20,000.00 in research grants to twodeserving applicants. The awards will fund science that promises to expand care within our specialty.

As outgoing PCRS president, I have so many people to thank that contributed to the success of PCRS
during my presidential term. I wish to give a heartfelt thanks to our extraordinary Board of Directors fortheir devotion to our society and the support they provided to me during my presidential term. The PCRS
Planning Committee accomplished an astonishing feat in planning our 2022 meeting and scheduling themany novel presentations and debates. We must never forget our generous industry sponsors andexhibitors who afford tremendous support that empowers us to deliver our PCRS annual meeting.
Likewise, behind the scenes, our management company, SBI, specifically Felicia Kenan and Katie Berry,
were particularly contributory to the success of the 2022 PCRS meeting.
Again, serving as the PCRS President during the 70th Annual Pacific Coast Reproductive Society meeting
was a sincere privilege! Under the accomplished leadership of President Dr. Paul Dudley and PresidentElect Tamara Tobias, PCRS has an auspicious future.

Aloha and Mahalo,
