The National Institutes of Health ">has committed funding to improve infertility research in the years to come. The funding is part of a loan repayment program designed to encourage more medical professionals to consider entering this field of medical research. Called Strength in Numbers, the program relies on the idea that an increase in the number of qualified doctors will lead directly to advances in this area of medicine.
The program "will fund up to $35,000 annually for loan repayments of qualified educational debt of health professionals" for medical professionals entering certain fields. There are five different fields that qualify for the program. One of those is the combined field of infertility research and contraception. This speaks to the fact that the NIH takes women's pregnancy medicine seriously and wants to see additional advances in patient care for this population.
Question of the Day: Do you support the NIH's loan repayment program for infertility research doctors?
