The Reproductive Endocrinology Fellowship program is a three-year program. At present, there are one first year fellow, one second year fellow, and two third year fellows. The fellowship program is a major strength of the division. It provides teaching for residents, assistance and help with private patients, and is a major source for stimulation of research productivity for the faculty. Emphasis of the program is to develop academicians. Laboratory research is the primary strength, director toward molecular biology. The program also emphasizes clinical research, and a large clinic and referral base of endocrine and infertility patients is available. All aspects of surgery for Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility are available as well as IVF-ET and Andrology training. Fellows present research at major meetings, gain experience in writing manuscripts and grants, and participate in resident and student teaching. Fellows also attend and participate in a number of teaching conferences in Reproductive Endocrinology, Infertility, and Reproductive Biology.
