Reproductive Endocrinology

This course is designed to augment students' understanding of gynecologic endocrinology and infertility, to familiarize them with laboratory techniques used in evaluating such patients, and in assisted reproductive technologies (ART).

Students will participate in the work-up and care of patients with infertility, endocrine, or developmental disorders involving reproduction. The student will acquire a conceptual knowledge of the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms that cause these disorders, thus allowing them to formulate and participate in the evaluation and therapy of these patients.
