Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility Fellowship

Fellows actively participate in all aspects of patient care and gain valuable and extensive experience. This includes the evaluation, planning, treatment, and follow-up of patients seen in the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. Fellows are involved in creating and managing IVF cycles, performing transvaginal oocyte retrievals, and performing embryo transfer in the second and third years. In addition, fellows perform gender-affirming laparoscopic hysterectomies. Through this experience, fellows will become proficient in advanced technologies and treatments. Clinical work will take place primarily at the Center for Reproductive Medicine, as well as nearby ambulatory clinics and Von Voigtlander Women's Hospital.

Fellows will have the opportunity to participate in basic science, translational, or clinical research, depending on the fellow's skills and interests. Research may be conducted on a broad range of topics, including female and male infertility, assisted reproductive technologies, reproductive surgery, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, polycystic ovary syndrome, gender-affirming hormones and fertility, menopause, reproductive genetics, and issues related to reproductive hormones.

The Department is home to 10 Board-certified and non-Board certified clinical and research fellowships in obstetrics and gynecology. To promote cross-specialty collaboration, all trainees take part in our Michigan Medicine Didactic Curriculum. These are ½ day educational seminars on numerous topics relevant to clinical research and academic leadership.  Topics include research design and implementation, identifying funding opportunities, manuscript timelines and preparation, how to be an effective teacher, and employment contracts. In addition, the department sponsors social events for fellows and advanced trainees across all specialties to further encourage collaboration and to help fellows build both a professional and personal network.
