Patient Education and Information

Each month the UCSF Center for Reproductive Health offers free orientation seminars to provide new and prospective patients the opportunity to meet our clinical team, view a slide presentation about IVF, talk with others who are considering assisted fertility procedures, and ask questions.

Orientations are typically held on the first Monday of the month from 6-8 pm at the UCSF Medical Center at Mount Zion. Please call the clinic at (415) 353-7475 to confirm the monthly schedule and to register for the orientation.
