Common clinical problems will include menstrual disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, recurrent pregnancy loss, fertility preservation, primary ovarian insufficiency, and infertility. Students will take part in daily assessment and management of patients. In addition, students will be able to observe diagnostic, operative, and therapeutic procedures, including pelvic ultrasound, hysterosalpingogram, hysteroscopy, and in-vitro fertilization (e.g. oocyte retrievals, embryo transfers, intracytoplasmic sperm injection, preimplantation genetic testing). Involvement in clinical research about IVF outcomes and/or embryology laboratory experience in in vitro fertilization is available.
