An active IVF program continues to develop, incorporating new reproductive technologies, cryopreservation, embryo manipulation, ICSI, and preimplantation genetic diagnosis. Research duties include assisting in clinical research programs and development of independent laboratory research projects under the direction of one of the faculty members. Ample time is provided to obtain basic skills in radioimmunoassay, andrology, embryo biology, and other laboratory techniques working with faculty at the C.S. Mott Center. Teaching activities within the division include weekly endocrine/infertility seminars, monthly journal club, and discussion of ovulation induction and surgeries scheduled. Additionally, a departmental grand rounds and morbidity/mortality conference is held every Tuesday morning. The fellows also participate in resident and medical student instruction both within the field of Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility, and in general obstetrics and gynecology.

Time is equally divided between clinical duties and research experience. The fellows rotate through clinical, surgical, and research blocks, spending 12 months in clinic (4 week rotations) and surgery, 18 months in research, and six months of elective rotations (4 week rotations). The fellows have the opportunity to spend a fully-funded three month rotation in one of our four affiliated IVF clinics in Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, and Irvine.
