Listen now to the first episode of a two-part interview where Dr. John Petrozza chats with Dr. Dan Martin, who gives his perspective on reproductive surgery when coming from a family of surgeons. Join ASRM Today for a special 14-episode bonus series about surgical legends, "On the Shoulders of Giants: Perspectives in Minimally Invasive Reproductive Surgery". Crafted by the Society of Reproductive Surgeons, each episode will be an in-depth interview with a distinguished pioneer of reproductive surgery. Sit back, grab a cup of coffee, and enjoy what we think are valuable lessons about our history, sparking innovation, and newer applications of reproductive surgery. Dan Martin, M.D. is the Scientific and Medical Director of the Endometriosis Foundation of America, a community member of the Virginia Commonwealth University Institutional Review Board, Professor Emeritus of the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, and a life fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Dr. Martin's academic and clinical practices in Baltimore, 1972-1977, and Memphis, 1977-2016, were in gynecology (Ob Gyn), reproductive surgery, and reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI) with an emphasis on endometriosis and infertility surgery. He has 443 publications with most on endometriosis and is a Past President of the AAGL (formerly the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists).
