Reproductive and Endocrinology Infertility (REI) Fellowship
Program Director John E. Buster, M.D.
In a three-year program intended for academic physicians, the fellowship seeks to
achieve the objectives delineated in The Guide to Learning in Reproductive Endocrinology.
Learning objectives include the biochemistry and pharmacology and action of hormones;
embryology; genetics; immunology; endocrinology of pregnancy; neuroendocrinology;
thyroid, adrenal and ovarian physiology; menstrual dysfunction, puberty and menopause,
male and female infertility, recurrent abortion, assisted reproductive technology;
surgical techniques; laboratory research, including hands-on experience in molecular
biology and genetics and grant writing. The Division offers its fellows an even
balance of research, clinical experience, and didactic learning. In research, fellows
work with NIH-funded investigators who are involved with investigations in preimplantation
genetics, embryonic micromanipulation, adrenal androgen regulation, menopause, and
clinical trials. In their clinical training, fellows work under supervision in the
private practices of highly experienced senior faculty. The seminar program is recycled
every three years to allow fellows full exposure to the breadth and depth of the
specialty.

This program is designed to prepare surgically gifted individuals for academic positions
with expertise in teaching, research, and the technology required for advanced minimally
invasive gynecologic procedures. Future fellows will be chosen on a competitive

subspecialties, the fellow will rotate with the general surgery department (to further
his/her skills operating in the upper abdomen and to master techniques of appendectomy
and other bowel procedures), the department of urology (to learn various laparoscopic
approaches to ureteral injuries and bladder repair), as well as through urodynamic
labs in the outpatient cystoscopy arena. There is presently one fellow in this newly
implemented, two-year program.
