About Us
Firsts:
UCRM is recognized for its notable leadership in assisted reproduction, including the first in the intermountain west to offer: a full-service fertility treatment center (1983); donor egg in vitro fertilization (1992); state-of-the-art embryo culture facilities (1992), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (1994); preimplantation genetic diagnosis (1999), and gestational surrogacy (2006). Thousands have benefited by the skill and expertise found in the UCRM. We thank you as patients and friends for helping the Center to be a valuable resource to our state and the surrounding region.
Mission:
The Utah Center for Reproductive Medicine has a threefold mission: clinical service, education, and research. These three areas provide you with the most advanced services in reproductive medicine presently available.
Clinical Service
We are committed to provide state of the art clinical care to our patients and to offer the most advanced and innovative techniques available in reproductive medicine. Our faculty and staff serve as role models for clinicians, nurses, and students in training. This responsibility implies humanity, excellence, confidentiality, and cost-effectiveness. Each patient may expect the highest standards of care and compassion. Unique to the Fertility Center is our team approach which provides each patient with the expertise and perspective of numerous experts. Innovation and leadership in overcoming infertility are part of our mission to you.
Education
The Utah Center is firmly committed to the open dissemination of knowledge regarding human reproduction to patients, colleagues, and students. This responsibility requires a commitment to teaching in all areas to interested individuals, as well as the community. There are no insignificant questions, and we encourage all to become actively involved in understanding all aspects of their care. We elicit your inquiries and suggestions in fulfilling this mission.
Research
The Center promotes and is engaged in the investigation of various aspects of reproduction. These projects range from studies of basic biological mechanisms to clinical research with immediate clinical significance. We strive to expand the frontiers of our knowledge and convert these insights into clinical success. Research is conducted under strict ethical guidelines. International collaborations expand our vision and assure the most advanced techniques are always found within the center. These investigations are shared with the medical community in respected scientific forums.
