139: Two REIs Debate OB/GYNs’ IVF Capabilities with Dr. Brauer & Dr. Arredondo

Listen Later

Dr. Anate Brauer (REI, co-founder and IVF Director of Shady Grove Fertility’s New York Region) and Dr. Francisco (Paco) Arredondo (Chief Medical Officer and founder of Pozitivf and author of MedikalPreneur) hash out their agreements, and disagreements, on the upskilling of OBGYNs in the fertility space

Listen to the full episode to hear:.

  • Dr. Anate Brauer argue that years of training and experience as an REI do not equal OBGYN general practice upskilling, which compromises patient care and increases risk.
  • Dr. Francisco Arredondo state that it is taking place already, the need for providers far exceeds supply, and that OBGYNs are capable (and successful), if properly trained.
  • Dr. Brauer and Dr. Arredondo agree on where APPs can offload the burden of REIs.
  • Griffin question whether upskilling OBGYNs to handle IVF will create another chasm in the healthcare system.
  • Griffin push back that a solution needs to be identified, (after years of overpromising and underdelivering on the increase of graduating REIs), as they are handcuffed by fellowships and educational institutions.
