The role of the Embryologist
A very significant change in clinical embryology the amount of patient contact most embryologists are expected to carry out. In the early days of IVF the most patient contact I ever got was at embryo transfer.
Today many embryologists find themselves in long involved discussions with very well informed patients (thanks to the internet!).
-patient contact does enable the scientist to put his role into context
The best IVF clinics are those at which there is a team effort and a good team spirit.
At the clinics where I have worked there has always been a very good team spirit
Poor co-operation between team members which almost always reflects in the overall performance of the clinic.
