## Overview and Mission The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) is a leading nonprofit, multidisciplinary organization dedicated to advancing the science and practice of reproductive medicine worldwide[1][2][3]. With a membership of nearly 9,000 scientists, physicians, and healthcare professionals from over 100 countries, ASRM is a global authority in reproductive health, providing evidence-based education, research funding, clinical guidelines, and advocacy for both professionals and patients[3][4]. Its core mission is to ensure accessible, ethical, and high-quality reproductive care for all, while promoting innovation and lifelong learning in the field[1][3]. ## History and Evolution Founded in 1944 as the American Society for the Study of Sterility by a group of fertility experts, the organization evolved into the American Fertility Society in 1965 and adopted its current name, ASRM, in 1994[2]. Over its nearly 80-year history, ASRM has grown from a small professional group into a global leader, establishing itself as a hub for scientific exchange, ethical discourse, and public policy advocacy in reproductive medicine[1][2]. In 2018, ASRM launched its own research institute and, in 2019, relocated its headquarters to Washington, D.C., signaling its commitment to influencing national health policy[2]. ## Key Achievements and Activities ASRM’s impact is multifaceted. The organization hosts an annual scientific congress, along with courses, seminars, and workshops that foster collaboration and knowledge-sharing among experts[2]. It publishes peer-reviewed guidelines and a professional journal, setting standards for clinical and laboratory practice[4]. ASRM’s Practice Committee issues evidence-based clinical guidelines, while its Ethics Committee addresses complex moral questions in reproductive technology[2]. The Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART), an ASRM affiliate, maintains a national registry tracking in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes, contributing to transparency and quality improvemen
