Reproductive Endocrinology
& Infertility
Fellowship
Director’s Welcome
Welcome to the
Boston IVF & BIDMC
Fellowship
It is with great enthusiasm that I invite you to explore what makes our program a truly exceptional place to train, grow, and lead in the field of reproductive medicine.
Our fellowship provides a dynamic and rigorous educational experience that combines the academic excellence of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center – Harvard Medical School with the clinical and scientific leadership of Boston IVF, one of the largest and most respected fertility centers in the country. Through this distinctive partnership, fellows receive unmatched exposure to cutting-edge reproductive technologies, world-class scientific research, and comprehensive clinical care in both laboratory and clinical settings.
At the heart of our program is a commitment to training compassionate, skilled, and forward-thinking physician-scientists who will become the next generation of leaders in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. Boston IVF performs over 9,000 IVF procedures annually, providing Fellows with an unparalleled hands-on clinical and academic experience. Our faculty are deeply dedicated to mentorship and education. We take pride in cultivating a culture that encourages curiosity, collaboration, and professional development.
During your three years with us, you will be immersed in a wide range of experiences—from mastering the complexities of assisted reproductive technologies and surgical procedures to conducting impactful research that contributes to the future of reproductive care.
You will work closely with our multidisciplinary teams, including embryologists and genetic counselors, to gain insights into patients’ comprehensive care. Our program’s Reproductive Bioethicist helps fellows apply the principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice as we explore new technologies and determine whether or not to adopt them.
A unique aspect of our program is our travel rotation. Fellows spend two one-week blocks at a center of their choice within our extensive network of centers across the country. While the biology remains consistent, the firsthand experience in Portland, Maine, or Salt Lake City, Utah, can provide a contrasting perspective compared to the experience in the greater Boston area, offering critical insight into the importance of tailoring the care approach to different patient populations.
Our fellows’ research is fully funded, so seeking external funding is unnecessary. Each fellow has ample opportunity to present their work at national and international meetings.
As you consider the next step in your professional journey, I encourage you to explore what makes our fellowship unique. Our alumni have achieved remarkable success, and we take pride in continuing to build a legacy of excellence, compassion, and innovation.

Founded in 1986, Boston IVF has long been a leader in fertility care, operating under the philosophy that comprehensive, individualized care is essential for achieving successful fertility outcomes. With a strong emphasis on groundbreaking technologies, access to clinical teams, and expert laboratory services, Boston IVF delivers a holistic approach to fertility treatment, where each patient’s unique needs are at the center of their care. This patient-focused philosophy aligns seamlessly with BIDMC’s academic and research goals, allowing fellows to engage in a rigorous clinical training program that combines advanced treatment strategies with cutting-edge scientific inquiry.
The collaboration ensures fellows are not only exposed to the latest developments in infertility care, including adult endocrinology, menopause, and male infertility, but also have the opportunity to contribute to meaningful research, quality improvement initiatives, and patient safety protocols. Together, Boston IVF and BIDMC are dedicated to fostering a new generation of reproductive medicine specialists who are skilled in both patient care and advancing the field through research, with a focus on equity, diversity, and physician well-being.
