Abstract

Assisted reproduction technology (ART) is a team work, consisting of qualified staff with good coordination between them. ART requires multi-disciplinary team consisting of gynecologist, andrologist, embryologist, counselor, nurses and a program coordinator/director. Interviewing of the infertile couple initially, history taking, physical examination of the female, recommending appropriate tests, etc. are all the activities of a gynecologist. Responsibilities of the andrologist would include the recording case histories, prescribing appropriate diagnosis and treatment based on the diagnosis. The clinical embryologist must be knowledgeable in mammalian embryology, reproductive endocrinology, genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, microbiology and in vitro culture techniques. Counselors are an important adjunct to any infertility clinic.
