Training in reproductive medicine

The aim of the unified training grade is to shorten training within a coherent structure, The urgent challenge that the medical profession must meet is to develop both a syllabus to define the requirements for completion of specialist training, and a curriculum to ensure an appropriate structure for training, This paper reports a postal survey of junior Doctors in the British Fertility Society carried out in response to the syllabus proposed by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. A survey was also performed of those who have been through, or are currently undertaking, subspecialist training. Specific recommendations about the curriculum with respect to training in reproductive medicine are proposed.
