Information Session
An Introduction to Assisted Reproduction
Most patients who are new to infertility treatments can be overwhelmed by the jargon and the procedures related to evaluation and treatment.
We’ve prepared this introduction so that you may become more familiar with the terms you’ll hear and can begin to think about the treatment options that are available. We hope you find this program useful, and we welcome your feedback on its effectiveness.
This information is followed by a short quiz and an evaluation form. Please allow approximately 45 minutes to complete all components.
This learning module is targeted to new patients at Duke Fertility Center.
