Duke’s Perspective on Patient Education
At Duke, we believe in investing time in educating our patients. We are an educational institution, after all.
Many decisions that you will make during fertility treatment require us to incorporate personal values that involve time, money, and the way each of us looks at life. In the end, it makes more sense for those decisions to be based on your values and not ours.
You can’t even begin to make informed decisions about these important issues unless you understand the risks, benefits, and potential consequence of each decision that you make.
Between friends, family, and the Internet, you are surrounded by a lot of information about infertility, some of which can be quite misleading. Individual fertility programs sometimes even interpret the same findings differently, which adds to your confusion.
As a university program, we constantly have bright young minds asking us why we do what we do. As a result we are constantly critiquing the latest information to provide you with the most up-to-date information.
It is our goal to help you assimilate all of the information that you receive from us, your family, and the Internet.
