  • Characterization of Reproductive Endocrinology and infertility (REI) fellowship applicants: guiding our mentees toward success
    Fertility research and practice, 2017
    Co-Authors: Jason M. Franasiak, William D. Schlaff, Daniel J. Kaser, Linnea R. Goodman, George Patounakis, C.r. Juneau, Scott J. Morin, Shelby A. Neal, Richard T. Scott
    Abstract:

    Advanced subspecialty training in Reproductive Endocrinology and infertility (REI) entails a competitive application process with many data points considered. It is not known what components weigh more heavily for applicants. Thus, we sought to study the REI fellow applicant and compare 1) those who apply but do not receive an interview, 2) those who receive an interview but do not match, and 3) those who successfully match. This retrospective cohort study was conducted at a single REI fellowship program from 2013 to 2017. Academic variables assessed included standardized test scores and total number of publications listed on their curriculum vitae. Logistic regression models were constructed to determine variables that were predictive of being offered an interview in our program and of matching in any program. There were 270 applicants, of which 102 were offered interviews. Interviewed applicants had significantly higher mean USMLE 1 and CREOG scores, as well as total publications and total abstracts. There was no difference in Step 2 and Step 3 scores or in number of book chapters. Of those interviewed, USMLE scores remained predictive of matching in any program; however, publications and scientific abstracts were no longer predictive. The decision to offer applicants interviews appears to be influenced by objective standardized test scores, as well as a threshold of academic productivity. These items are less predictive of matching once the interview process begins, indicating that other factors, such as performance during the interview day, may be more heavily weighted.

  • fellowship training and board certification in Reproductive Endocrinology and infertility
    Fertility and Sterility, 2015
    Co-Authors: Joseph C Gambone, James H Segars, Marcelle I Cedars, William D. Schlaff
    Abstract:

    Reproductive Endocrinology and infertility (REI) is one of the original officially recognized subspecialties in obstetrics and gynecology and among the earlier subspecialties in medicine. Recognized by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology in 1972, fellowship programs are now 3 years in length following an obstetrics and gynecology residency. Originally focused on endocrine problems related to Reproductive function, the assisted Reproductive technologies (ART) have recently become the larger part of training during REI fellowships. It is likely that the subspecialty of REI strengthens the specialty of obstetrics and gynecology and enhances the educational experience of residents in the field. The value of training and certification in REI is most evident in the remarkable and consistent improvement in the success of ART procedures, particularly in vitro fertilization. The requirement for documented research activity during REI fellowships is likely to stimulate a more rapid adoption (translation) of newer research findings into clinical care after training. Although mandatory reporting of outcomes has been proposed as a reason for this improvement the rapid translation of Reproductive research into clinical practice is likely to be a major cause. Looking forward, REI training should emphasize and strengthen education and research into the endocrine, environmental, and genetic aspects of female and male reproduction to improve the Reproductive health and fertility of all women.

  • The development of a computer-assisted curriculum in Reproductive Endocrinology and infertility for residents.
    American journal of obstetrics and gynecology, 2004
    Co-Authors: Ruben Alvero, Kirsten J. Lund, A.y. Armstrong, Louis A. Vontver, William D. Schlaff
    Abstract:

    Objective This study was undertaken to determine the features of an effective computer-based residency curriculum in Reproductive Endocrinology and infertility. Study design A review of the literature to determine those features that have been used by training programs in medicine. Reproductive Endocrinology and infertility division directors, current obstetrics and gynecology residents, and obstetrics and gynecology practitioners in the community were surveyed to evaluate critical subjects for study. Results Programs most successful in using computers in training health care providers use a case-based approach that prioritizes important subjects. Areas of greatest importance to the 3 groups surveyed include infertility, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, and management of the climacteric, and several other areas were also deemed critical. Conclusion Benefits of computer-based learning include consistency, the ability to develop problem solving skills for life-long learning, and a self-paced approach, but its validity as a teaching tool will require rigorous appraisal.

    Abstract:

    In the United States, subspecialty training in Reproductive Endocrinology and infertility (REI) begins after the completion of a 4-year residency in obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN). Most applicants enter the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP) to obtain a fellowship position.

  • A renaissance in Reproductive Endocrinology and infertility.
    Fertility and sterility, 2005
    Co-Authors: Robert L. Barbieri
    Abstract:

    Assisted Reproductive technology (ART) is catalyzing a renaissance in Reproductive Endocrinology and infertility (REI), manifested by the rapid growth of new technologies, such as intracytoplasmic sperm injection, oocyte cryopreservation, preimplantation genetic manipulation of embryos, and embryonic stem cell biology. Because of advances in ART, REI will be a vibrant and growing discipline, both in academic and independent practice settings, for many decades.

  • Training in Reproductive Endocrinology and infertility and assisted Reproductive technologies: options and worldwide needs
    Fertility and sterility, 2015
    Co-Authors: Dominique De Ziegler, Nathalie De Ziegler, Sokteang Sean, Osama S. Bajouh, David R. Meldrum
    Abstract:

    Standardized, high-quality training in Reproductive Endocrinology, infertility, and assisted Reproductive technologies (REI-ART) faces challenges owing to the high-tech nature of ART and the important country-to-country differences in clinical practice and regulations overseeing training. Moreover, while the training capacity of the classical by-fellowship training platforms is shrinking, an increasing demand for REI-ART specialists is coming from emerging countries. To meet this expanding need for REI-ART specialists, we propose a novel by-network model linking a reference training center to satellite practical training sites. Simulation should be used more extensively to achieve competency before initiating live clinical experience, analogous to the highly effective training systems that have been used in aviation for decades. Large ART databases that exist because of obligations to report ART activity and results constitute unique yet so far untapped sources for developing by-scenario simulation training models. Online training materials incorporating these state-of-the-art information technology tools could be developed as a means of fulfilling training needs worldwide.

  • Introduction: Training in Reproductive Endocrinology and infertility: meeting worldwide needs
    Fertility and sterility, 2015
    Co-Authors: Dominique De Ziegler, David R. Meldrum
    Abstract:

    Training in Reproductive Endocrinology (REI) and its male variant, andrology, has been profoundly influenced by the central role captured by assisted Reproductive technologies (ART). The marked differences in financial, regulatory, and societal/ethical restrictions on ART in different countries of the world also prominently influence the clinical management of infertility. Training should strive for comprehensive teaching of all medically indicated procedures, even if only to optimize cross-border care. Better international standardization of infertility practices and training would benefit worldwide infertility care and should be promoted by international societies.
