Local Physician Supports National Infertility Awareness Week

Dr. Richard J. Paulson, a La Cañada Flintridge resident and director of USC Fertility, the non-profit fertility practice of the University of Southern California, will launch into National Infertility Awareness Week (Oct. 29-Nov. 4) by taking part in the 15th Annual Fall Infertility & Adoption Symposium: Infertility & Family Building Options hosted by the Southwest Region of Resolve, The National Infertility Association.

Held Oct. 28 at Covel Commons in UCLA’s Sunset Village, the event will provide attendees the opportunity to learn from and meet with infertility experts, adoption professionals, mental health professionals, and complementary health practitioners. The symposium offers attendees the opportunity to ask questions, explore options, and learn more about how they can build a family via five consecutive sessions from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m..

“I can’t think of a better way to kick off National Infertility Awareness Week,” says Paulson.

In Session 1, from 10-11 a.m., Paulson’s colleague, USC Fertility’s Dr. Karine Chung, will present “Navigating Your Treatment.” In Session 3, from 1:30-2:30 p.m., Paulson will present “New Advances in IVF.” To register for the event, contact Anna Bell at 866-888-7452 or abell@resolve.org.
