    263 The Vanishing Fertility Doctor Dream. Drs. Kevin Maas, Cristin Slater, Kyle Tobler

    Doctors used to dream not just of earning well, but of controlling how they practiced and how they cared for patients. Doctors Cristin Slater, Kevin Maas, and Kyle Tobler—partners at the independently owned Idaho Center for Reproductive Medicine—explain why that dream feels so far away for many. Here’s what we cover: Why Dr. Maas says he’d never go back to a private equity-owned network Hidden legal clauses & earn-outs that can trap REIs The tug-of-war between business interests and clinical decisions How independent practices can innovate (including the tech they love) The advice they’d give to any fellow or young REI thinking about their future, and how they can still live the dream

    261 RMA-NY Gets Smart About Genetic Counseling Crunch. Teresa Cacchione

    With a very limited number of genetic counselors nationwide, it’s impossible for every fertility patient to see one. Clinics like RMA New York are getting strategic. In this week’s episode of Inside Reproductive Health, genetic counselor Teresa Cacchione explains why genetic counseling in IVF is becoming increasingly critical and complex. Teresa discusses: Why and how RMA-NY relies on a partner called GeneScreen Why even low-risk carrier results can confuse patients (and what to do about it) The growing demand for informed consent around PGT The risks of relying solely on lab panels How RMA decides which patients need in-house counseling The legal and ethical implications of not providing sufficient counseling before treatment

    260 Avoiding IVF’s Next Public Catastrophe. Dr. Tex VerMilyea & Moises Eilemberg

    They were lucky. The gas to the incubator stopped flowing, but XiltriX caught the failure in time, no embryos were lost… and no headlines were made. But what happens if the next failure isn’t? In this episode, Dr. Matthew “Tex” VerMilyea of Ovation and US Fertility, and Moises Eilemberg, CEO of XiltriX North America, return to Inside Reproductive Health to ask a hard question: What would your lab do in a crisis? You’ll hear: The catastrophic loss Sweden’s biobank suffered (and what you need to learn from it) Why embryologist shortages are reshaping the IVF lab What standardizing monitoring protocols could mean for your network Why Tex believes monitoring as a service is the future The steps to take after a public lab failure (and how to avoid needing them) How XiltriX helps fertility labs gain 24/7 visibility, rapid response alerts, and peace of mind This isn’t about tech. It’s about protecting the future of your lab, your brand, and your patients.

    256 Fertility Doctors Are Burnt Out. Dr. Jason Yeh

    Fertility doctors are burnt out. Not all of them, but enough to warrant a real conversation. Dr. Jason Yeh is a full-time fertility physician, a national medical director, an academic-turned-industry leader—and very much in the thick of this discussion. In this episode, we unpack the often unspoken reality of REI burnout and why so many are struggling to stay engaged after a decade in the field. In this conversation, Dr. Yeh shares: What REIs are saying in private physician groups about exhaustion and disillusionment Why the 7–10 year career mark is so critical for burnout The impact of rising caseloads on quality of life (300+ cycles per year) How Inception is trying to stay physician-friendly (and why autonomy matters) Why executive roles don’t always protect physicians from burnout His take on corporate vs physician-led leadership in fertility care Whether you’re a newer fellow just entering the field or a seasoned provider feeling the weight of your career, this conversation is for you.
