Resident training survey in infertility

H M Nagler et al. J Urol. 1995 Sep.

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.
