Assisted reproductive technology has been detrimental to academic reproductive endocrinology and infertility: depth of the problem and possible solutions
Received 31 March 2005; received in revised form 31 March 2005; accepted 31 March 2005.
Dr. Soules’ editorial (1) points out some, but not all, of the detrimental effects of assisted reproductive technology on the subspecialty of academic reproductive endocrinology and infertility. This response adds to the list of problems (i.e., discussing the loss of pure endocrinology) but points out an example of a creative solution (i.e., merging academic units with private practices).
