Gynecologic Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility

Nov 14, 2023

Rhonda Zwingerman, MD, FRCSC recounts why snuggling her first Twiglet baby was so special.  Are you intrigued? Listen on! 

Would you thrive in a specialty that offers an 'awesome and amazing' combination of technology, patient counselling, and patient education? Can you see yourself being emotionally invested in your patients and their journeys? Is relationship building a priority for you? 

Dr. Zwingerman shares why Gynecologic Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility (GREI or the fertility specialty!) spoke to her. She tells host Emily Wu, MD how she has been able to flex her entreprenurial muscles to co-found a fertility clinic (Twig Fertility). They delve into what the future of GREI might look like ... no surprise - lots of AI! 

You can hear the passion in Dr. Zwingerman's voice - how she cares deeply for all her patients and is committed to create an inclusive, open, and welcoming environment. And her humility shines through - it's a team effort and she happily touts the expertise of her fellow team members.
