19 DECEMBER 2024Through this article, Joseph Chervenak, MD/MBA, Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility Fellow at Montefiore Health System, shares his insights on the diverse and impactful field of Obstetrics and Gynecology. He reflects on his extensive training, the influence of his mentors and the interdisciplinary nature of the specialty. Chervenak emphasizes the transformative advancements in reproductive medicine, including IVF, cryopreservation and AI applications in fertility care. He highlights the balance between innovation and empirical practice and discusses the future potential of AI to improve access and quality of care in reproductive medicine.During residency interviews when a medical student is asked why they want to go into Obstetrics and Gynecology or OB/GYN, a common response is that they get "to do a little bit of everything," as the field encompasses the full range of healthcare practice from outpatient primary care to surgery. After completing 7 years of post-medical school graduate training, I can attest to the breadth and reach of the field in the pursuit of women's health. There is something about the scope of experiences that training provides that makes reproductive medicine physicians some of the best patient advocates I know. I have had the privilege of training with some truly outstanding minimally invasive surgeons, high-risk pregnancy experts and oncologists.Inspired by my parents--both maternal-fetal medicine physicians--I always knew that the field had much to offer in the way of being able to help patients at some of the most important times in their lives.
