The SREI Practice retreat On October 20 featured a dynamic morning of insightful talks. We’re still abuzz. Here are some highlights: ????. ?????????? ????????????, ““???????????????????? ???? ?????? ?????? ???????? ????????????????????”:” He noted that supplements like DHEA, CoQ10, and growth hormone may improve ovarian stimulation responses, but intraovarian PRP and testosterone have not shown effective increases in pregnancy rates. Strategies such as luteal phase starts and mild stimulation may be appropriate in select cases. Patients should also be aware of potential menstrual cycles during IVF if injectable medications are started in the luteal phase. ????. ???????????? ??????????????????, “?????????? ?????? ?????????????????????????? (??????) ?????????????? & ????????????????????”: SDF, referring to breaks in sperm DNA, can lead to lower fertilization rates and recurrent pregnancy loss, often influenced by lifestyle and oxidative stress. Techniques for measuring SDF include the TUNEL assay and flow cytometry, with high SDF linked to reduced pregnancy rates post-IUI and IVF/ICSI. Strategies for SDF reduction include lifestyle changes, antioxidants, shorter abstinence intervals, microfluidic sperm sorting, and appropriate surgical options. SDF analysis is not recommended for initial infertility evaluations. ????. ???????? ???????????? addressed the feasibility and funding of prospective and retrospective research in the REI Privademic model. ????. ???????????????? ?????????????? addressed the history of and upcoming changes to SART outcome reporting, reflecting evolving practice patterns. ????. ???????????? ???????????? highlighted the importance of communication during exams and introduced the VASE technique (Validate, Ask, Support, Empathy) for empathetic care. ????. ???????? ?????? outlined nationwide and regional strategies and trends in REI physician recruitment. #srei #socrei #rei #infertility #fertility #fertilitydoc #fertilitydoctor #reifellowship #obgyn #obgynfellowship #infertilitydoc #infertilitydoctor #asrm2024 @asrm_org

ABOG emphasized that misrepresenting certification or scope of practice is unprofessional and unethical. While ABOG does not regulate practice management, it will work with REI and relevant societies to educate patients on the importance of seeking care from board-certified REI specialists. Two webinars will be held on October 15, 2024, to discuss this issue further. Please watch for more details. Drs. Young and Jungheim will share key points regarding the functions of authoritative bodies, including institutions, clinical departments, and training programs and share ways ABOG will promote the REI subspecialty and the value of REI board certification.

Happy #FellowshipFriday to our newest REI Fellows! Congratulations to the Class of 2028 for matching a little over one week ago! We are so excited to welcome these bright young minds to the field of REI, and can’t wait to see how they will mold the future of the field. * Every REI remembers match day, and the moment their dreams were actualized. While some went straight through after college, others persevered through generalist careers, through not matching their first time, through military service, through family matters, and through varying interests, and we couldn’t be happier that they ended up here. * We as REIs are obsessed with building families, so being excited for our newest class is an understatement. * Tag, share, yell, shout, page the news! The Class of 2028 is coming in hot and no stopping them now! * #fellowship #REIClassof2028 #Classof2028 #Fellowshipmatch #MatchDay2024 #futureoffertility #growingfamily #SREI #ERASMatch #SREIcomposite #itsamatch

At the SREI Retreat, there is always a lively debate or journal club on a hot clinical topic. This year, see current fellows debating on the kinds of progesterone supplementation in frozen embryo transfer cycles. #debate #themoreyouknow #parkcity #srei #socrei #rei #infertility #fertility #fertilitydoc #fertilitydoctor #reifellowship

One of the Society for Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (SREI)’s most memorable events is the annual Fellows Symposium! Each year, the first and third year REI Fellows are invited to this special event held in Park City, Utah. Pictured here are the 3rd year fellows at the 2024 Fellows Symposium. The future is bright ?? #srei #ReproductiveMedicine #ReproductiveScience #reproductiveendocrinology #fellowship #obgynfellowship #parkcity

Happy #WDWDW! Introducing another SREI Interactive Media Committee, Dr. Vinita Alexander @vinita.alexandermd Workplace: St. Louis, MO Current position in SREI: Committee Member in the Interactive Media committee. How did you first get involved in SREI? "I attended the rite-of-passage SREI Fellows Symposium in 2017. There, I listened to impactful talks and made lifelong professional and personal connections. When Dr. Whynott became chair of the SIMC and asked for involvement, the answer was easy!"? What do you like most about SREI? "SREI is an organization that prioritizes medical professionals and patients. It is committed to engaging the professional community of REIs. I appreciate that SREI provides hands-on education at all levels: be it new fellows, early attendings, or veteran REIs- and encourages opportunities to assure patients are offered evidenced-based treatment options."
