Fellowship Overview
The Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (REI) Fellowship at The Brooklyn Hospital Center is a three-year training program designed to prepare physicians for leadership roles in reproductive medicine, academic scholarship, and clinical innovation.
The program offers a comprehensive educational experience that integrates high-volume clinical training, advanced assisted reproductive technology (ART), robust research opportunities, and dedicated faculty mentorship.
Our fellowship is committed to developing highly skilled clinicians who will contribute to advancing the field of reproductive medicine. Fellows train in a collaborative and supportive academic environment that emphasizes individualized learning, progressive responsibility, and the development of strong clinical judgment. The program’s structure is designed to ensure fellows gain broad exposure to the diagnosis and management of complex reproductive endocrine disorders, infertility, and advanced fertility treatments.
Clinical training includes extensive hands-on experience through direct mentorship with faculty at Kofinas Fertility Group, a high-volume assisted reproductive technology center known for its expertise in complex infertility care and innovative treatment approaches. Fellows will gain comprehensive experience in ovulation induction, intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), fertility preservation, recurrent pregnancy loss evaluation, and the management of conditions such as Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS, formerly known as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, or PCOS) , diminished ovarian reserve, and endometriosis. Training includes exposure to advanced reproductive procedures, ultrasound-guided interventions, and the interpretation of reproductive laboratory data. The program also emphasizes and provides extensive training in advanced laparoscopic reproductive surgery including laparoscopic myomectomy and surgical treatment of severe endometriosis.
In addition to clinical excellence, The Brooklyn Hospital Center (TBHC)-Kofinas Fertility Group REI Fellowship places a strong emphasis on research and scholarly development. As the sponsoring institution, The Brooklyn Hospital Center provides an academic foundation for a structured research curriculum. Through the combined resources, mentorship, and clinical expertise of TBHC and Kofinas Fertility Group, fellows have opportunities to design and conduct clinical research projects, prepare manuscripts, present scholarly work, and participate in national meetings. The program encourages fellows not only to engage with current evidence, but also to help advance the ideas and approaches that will shape the future of reproductive medicine.
The Brooklyn Hospital Center serves a diverse patient population in the heart of New York City, providing fellows with exposure to a broad range of clinical presentations, reproductive health needs, and cultural perspectives. This patient-centered clinical environment strengthens fellows’ ability to deliver compassionate, culturally responsive care while developing expertise in the management of complex reproductive conditions. In partnership with Kofinas Fertility Group, TBHC extends this learning beyond traditional hospital boundaries, pairing the breadth and rigor of a teaching hospital with specialized exposure to innovative fertility care.
Throughout the fellowship, trainees benefit from close faculty mentorship, structured didactic education, interdisciplinary collaboration, and progressive autonomy in patient care and procedural training. The partnership between The Brooklyn Hospital Center and Kofinas Fertility Group creates an intentionally distinctive learning environment—one that draws on TBHC’s commitment to graduate medical education and clinical excellence alongside Kofinas Fertility Group’s specialized expertise in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. Faculty across both organizations are dedicated to supporting fellows’ professional development, academic productivity, and career advancement as future leaders in the field.
Upon successful completion of the three-year fellowship, graduates will be well prepared for independent practice in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility in both academic and private practice settings. Alumni of the program will leave equipped with the clinical expertise, research foundation, and leadership skills necessary to shape the future of reproductive medicine.
