SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ivy Fertility, a nationally recognized network of fertility clinics, is proud to support a new Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility fellowship program initiated by Fertility Associates of Memphis within the Graduate Medical Education program at the University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center. The fellowship aims to expand access to physician training in a region historically underserved by fertility specialists. The fellowship aims to expand access to physician training in a region historically underserved by fertility specialists. With fewer than 75 infertility physicians graduating from fellowship programs nationwide each year, the need for more training opportunities is urgent. Ivy Fertility is meeting this challenge by investing in a premier educational program that will provide aspiring REI physicians with world-class mentorship and clinical experience. This fellowship is one of only 50 teaching centers in the US accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, and is the only program of its kind in the region, which includes Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas. The program's inaugural fellow is Dr. Sierra Bishop, a highly accomplished OB/GYN with deep roots in the Memphis medical community. Dr. Bishop earned her medical degree and completed her residency at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, where she served as Chief Resident. Her research interests include fertility preservation for young cancer patients, recurrent pregnancy loss, and reproductive infections, topics on which she has published and presented nationally. 'Dr. Bishop is an exceptional physician, and we are thrilled to welcome her as our first fellow,' said Dr. William Kutteh, Fellowship Director and founding physician at Fertility Associates of Memphis. 'Our goal is to train thoughtful, skilled, and compassionate leaders in reproductive medicine, and I am confident that Dr. Bishop will set a high bar for the future of this program.' The Memphis-based program will draw on the deep expertise of FAM's faculty, who are nationally and internationally recognized leaders in the field. FAM's Dr. Kutteh, Dr. Raymond Ke, Dr. Paul Brezina, Dr. Amelia Bailey, and Dr. Jianchi Ding all have teaching appointments at the University of Tennessee, and they will all be part of the training program faculty. Collectively, they have published more than 300 academic papers and regularly hold leadership roles in national professional organizations. 'Tennessee is a critically important location for this kind of program,' added Dr. Kutteh. 'We are addressing a significant gap in reproductive healthcare training across the Southeast.' For Ivy Fertility, the fellowship is part of a broader commitment to expanding access to fertility care across the United States. 'At Ivy, we know that supporting the future of reproductive medicine means investing in the next generation of clinicians,' said Lisa Van Dolah, CEO of Ivy Fertility. 'We have made this top-tier physician program a priority. This fellowship reflects our long-term vision for growing both the fertility workforce and the reach of compassionate, personalized care.'

FAM introduces ‘Elite Games' project to scout future Harimau Malaya talents
THE Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) has introduced the 'Elite Games' project aimed at scouting talented young players with the potential to don the Harimau Malaya jersey in the future. National Under-23 (U-23) head coach Mohd Nafuzi Zain said an initial group of 26 players from across the country will be called up for the project's first camp, scheduled from June 23 to 26. He said the inaugural camp also formed part of preparations to shortlist 30 players for centralised training ahead of the ASEAN U-23 Championship 2025, to be held in Jakarta from July 15 to 29. 'We have many young players with potential, so the Elite Games initiative is to monitor them in preparation for the ASEAN U-23 Championship. 'We'll bring in players from June 23 to 25 for a short stint, during which we'll conduct sparring games where players compete against each other. If they perform well, they stand a chance of being included in the 30-man squad for the ASEAN U-23 central training camp,' he told reporters today. He said the centralised training for the ASEAN U-23 tournament will run from July 1 to 12 before the team departs for Jakarta on July 13. Malaysia have been drawn into Group A alongside host nation Indonesia, the Philippines and Brunei for the ASEAN U-23 Championship 2025, which runs from July 15 to 29 in Jakarta. The national U-23 side will kick off their campaign against the Philippines on July 15, followed by matches against Brunei on July 18 and Indonesia on July 21. The top two teams from each group will advance to the semi-finals scheduled for July 25, with the third-place playoff and final set for July 29. Meanwhile, Harimau Malaya technical director Tan Cheng Hoe said the 'Elite Games' project was the result of discussions with national team head coach Peter Cklamovski and Mohd Nafuzi. He said beyond the ASEAN U-23 tournament, the initiative will also help Mohd Nafuzi prepare for the AFC U-23 Asian Cup Qualifiers 2026 from Sept 3–9 and the 2025 SEA Games in Thailand, scheduled from Dec 9-20. Cheng Hoe also expressed hope that the programme could be held monthly, with a focus on identifying emerging talent from U-20 and U-18 players nationwide, who could later be included in the Harimau Malaya squad.
