N2  - Impairment of fertility and sexual/reproductive health are common after oncologic therapy, and are known to have negative impacts on romantic  relationships and psychosocial well-being among childhood cancer survivors. The Pediatric Initiative Network (PIN) is an international, multidisciplinary  group of providers within the Oncofertility Consortium dedicated to preserving and protecting the fertility of children and adolescents at risk for  infertility due to medical conditions or treatments. The PIN and its Best Practices and Research committees meet virtually throughout the year, with one  annual in-person meeting. The purpose of this "proceedings" is to highlight key discussion points from the annual PIN meeting which took place on November  11, 2019, to 1) provide a context for pediatric groups across the country on what oncofertility programs are currently doing and why, and 2) inform  stakeholders of past, present and future initiatives that may be of value to them and the patient populations they serve
