Egg Freezing for Surgical Residents Program

Shady Grove Fertility, a proud partner of US Fertility, recognizes that female surgeons are at an increased risk of infertility and pregnancy complications due to the demand of surgical training schedules and the likelihood of delaying family-building while establishing their early surgical careers. The Egg Freezing for Surgical Residents program aims to safeguard family-building options for female surgical residents by offering egg-freezing services at a significant discount so that women can feel more confident when pursuing careers in surgery.

I began my own egg-freezing journey as an OB/GYN resident. Looking back 10 years later, now 38 years old, engaged, and ready to start my own family, I’m relieved to have frozen my eggs. At the same time, I feel obligated to give back and address the toll that surgical training has on women.
