Education in reproductive medicine

The speciality of reproductive medicine encompasses several common disease processes contributing significantly to the global burden of disease. They include infertility, which affects 1 in 6 women and for which access to care falls well short of global need. Key to increasing access is the education and training of a capable, high-quality workforce. Education and training in medicine are undergoing a revolution catalyzed by the recent pandemic, which forced a rapid shift from face to face to virtual learning. This change came coincidental with other emerging trends in clinical education, driven by developments in information technology and Generation Y. The changes are broadly welcome but present significant challenges to educators who are grappling with evolving social educational trends, technical aspects, cyber threats, and the impact of AI. This short commentary discusses education and training in reproductive medicine in this context.
