We’re excited to welcome co-presenters Khivan Oberoi, ND and Stefani Hayes, ND, LAc to our speaker lineup!

🎙 “Ethics of Assisted Reproductive Tech to LGBTQ+ ”
📚 1 Ethics CE hour

Learn more below and register today at www.oanp.org/annual-conference

Bio: Dr. Hayes and Dr. Oberoi are both passionate about increasing access to high
quality integrative fertility education for healthcare providers. They have been
collaborating since 2019, starting with co-teaching an Advanced Fertility elective
at NUNM with Dr. Windstar. In 2023, they founded Art of Fertility together
( www.art-of-fertility ), to provide multiple levels of fertility training and
mentorship for medical students and health care professionals interested in
deepening their knowledge of integrative fertility medicine. They actively provide
high quality fertility education, while also aiming to create a supportive
community among providers to collaboratively navigate the challenges associated
with complex fertility cases.

Abstract: How inclusive and equitable is Assisted Reproductive Technology —particularly for LGBTQIA+ individuals and those who are single by choice? Despite the growing visibility of diverse family structures, systemic barriers continue to limit access to assisted reproductive technologies for these populations. This presentation explores the ethical challenges inherent in fertility care for LGBTQ+ and single individuals, including issues of bias in referral and treatment pathways, insurance discrimination, heteronormative clinic policies, and societal assumptions about family formation. We will examine how healthcare providers can better meet the needs of these underserved groups. Attendees will leave with a framework for ethical decision-making and actionable strategies to create more inclusive, affirming fertility care environments.
