  • Title: Resident training survey in infertility.
    Author: Nagler HM, Howards SS, Lipshultz LI, Lorish C.
    Journal: J Urol; 1995 Sep; 154(3):1140-2. PubMed ID: 7637067.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: We characterize infertility training in urology residency programs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A pilot survey was sent to randomly selected urological training programs. The modified final survey was sent to 126 approved urological residencies in North America. RESULTS: Of the 126 surveys 110 (87%) were returned. Among the programs 38% expressed interest in recruiting a faculty member with expertise in infertility, 32% indicated an inadequate number of patients available to train residents and 56% indicated that their residents were least competent in the treatment of infertile patients compared to the other urological subspecialty disciplines. CONCLUSIONS: This survey confirms the underemphasis of infertility in urological training programs and the need to enhance this training.
