Egg freezing for fertility preservation and family planning: a nationwide survey of US Obstetrics and Gynecology residents.

Background: Little is known about resident attitudes toward elective egg freezing (EF) or how educational exposure to EF affects residents' views and ability to counsel patients. This study aimed to evaluate US OB/GYN residents' views on elective EF, decisions regarding family planning, and whether education on EF affects these views and self-reported comfort discussing EF with patients.

Methods: A 32 question survey was emailed to program directors at all US residency programs for distribution to residents.
