American Society for Reproductive Medicine

What American Society for Reproductive Medicine does

The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit professional medical society founded in 1944 and headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, with a policy office in Washington, DC. It serves a multidisciplinary membership of reproductive endocrinologists, clinical embryologists, fertility nurses, mental health professionals, reproductive urologists, genetic counselors, and REI fellows — anchored by five affiliated societies (SART, SMRU, SREI, SRBT, SRS), six professional groups, and 25+ special interest groups. Its mission is the advancement of reproductive medicine science and practice through education, research, and patient advocacy.

ASRM's core products include the Fertility and Sterility journal family (Fertility and Sterility IF 8.1 plus F&S Reports, F&S Reviews, F&S Science), the ASRM Academy online learning platform with specialty tracks for nursing, laboratory, and mental health professionals, and digital tools such as the MAC2021 Müllerian Anomaly Classification tool (with an AI-powered Gemini-based chatbot called MAVI) and the ASRM EDGE embryo grading platform. It runs the annual Scientific Congress & Expo (nearly 6,000 attendees in San Antonio in 2025; Baltimore 2026), the newly launched ASRM INNOVATE innovation summit, and tuition-based training programs including the CELL Clinical Embryology Learning Laboratory ($18,500 per participant for the 2027 cohort, delivered with CooperSurgical). The 2025-2030 Strategic Plan prioritizes workforce development, innovation, advocacy, research, and global collaboration.

ASRM operates a diversified nonprofit revenue model: recurring membership dues, journal and educational subscriptions, transaction-based Congress registration/exhibitor/sponsorship fees, one-time program tuition (CELL, CREST, KEEPR), donations and planned giving through the ASRM Research Institute and Center for Policy and Leadership, and merchandise. Go-to-market is membership-led, with content marketing via podcasts, blogs, journals, and the ReproductiveFacts.org patient portal driving acquisition and retention across the global reproductive medicine community.

Partnerships

Six partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• Society for the Study of Reproduction (SSR)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerASRM collaborated with SSR to develop SPARK (Scientists and Physicians Advancing Reproductive Knowledge), a research network connecting basic scientists with physicians and clinicians through the UPSquad community platform. The partnership aims to increase prospects for grant funding and facilitate collaboration among researchers sharing similar interests.
• CooperSurgicalcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerCooperSurgical hosts the ASRM CELL (Clinical Embryology Learning Laboratory) training at its embryology training center.

Direct peers

• American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG): ACOG is the U.S. professional society for OB-GYNs, the clinical specialty that overlaps most directly with ASRM's reproductive endocrinology members. Both organizations deliver practice guidelines, journals, CME, and advocacy for overlapping physician audiences in women's reproductive health.
• European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE): ESHRE is the international counterpart society for reproductive medicine, publishing Human Reproduction and hosting the leading European annual meeting. It directly mirrors ASRM's combined journal-plus-congress model for the same clinician specialty globally.
• Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART): SART is an affiliated society of ASRM that publishes IVF clinic outcome data and administers clinic certification. While structurally a subsidiary of ASRM, it operates as a quasi-independent peer society and represents the closest direct peer in IVF data and quality oversight.
• Society for the Study of Reproduction (SSR): SSR is a basic-science reproductive biology society that ASRM co-develops the SPARK network with. It represents the academic research arm of the field and overlaps with ASRM's research dissemination activities, journal influence, and reproductive biology audience.
• Society for Reproductive Investigation (SRI): SRI is a U.S.-based research society focused on reproductive science and obstetrics, publishing Reproductive Sciences and running the SRI Annual Scientific Meeting. It directly overlaps with ASRM's CREST training, SPARK research network, and Fertility and Sterility on the basic-science side.

Regional players

• Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM): SMFM is a U.S.-based OB subspecialty society serving maternal-fetal medicine physicians, adjacent to reproductive medicine and overlapping on pregnancy-related research and clinical guidelines. It is comparable as a smaller specialty society in the broader women's health ecosystem.
• Pacific Coast Reproductive Society (PCRS): PCRS is a West Coast U.S. reproductive medicine professional society and a publication partner of Fertility and Sterility. It is a regional peer with overlapping members and competes for reproductive medicine conference attendance on the U.S. West Coast.

Broad incumbents

• American Medical Association (AMA): AMA is the largest U.S. physician professional society and provides CPT/medical coding resources that ASRM members rely on. It represents a broader peer from a society-business-model perspective (membership, CME, advocacy, journals) but covers a much wider medical scope.
• American Urological Association (AUA): AUA is a large established specialty society covering urologists, including male-factor infertility (the SMRU-affiliated subspecialty at ASRM). It competes for the male-reproductive-medicine society membership and conference attendance of urologists on the broader male-reproductive-health axis.
• Endocrine Society: The Endocrine Society publishes leading journals on hormonal endocrinology and provides CME for endocrinologists, including those treating reproductive endocrine disorders. It overlaps with ASRM's reproductive endocrinology and infertility membership around PCOS/PMOS and hormonal disorders.
