It’s hard to become a fertility doctor these days… In order to treat women with infertility, a doctor must graduate from medical school, complete a 4-year residency in Ob-Gyn, and then go on to a 3-year fellowship in infertility.

These fellowships are highly sought-after and only accept bright, motivated physicians with lots of research experience. So, women can rest assured that reproductive endocrinologists are a unique bunch of highly-trained doctors.
