Simulation and professional development: added value of 3D modelization in reproductive endocrinology and infertility and assisted reproductive technologies teamwork.

As in other specialties of medicine, there is more to clinical performance in reproductive endocrinology, infertility, and assisted reproductive technologies (REI-ART) than simply the individual knowledge and technical skills. Simulation is commonly used during fellowship training in REI-ART, aiming to produce a virtual cycle of professional development in order to improve patient outcome. With scientific certification and the joint development of evaluation tools, the contribution of digitalization, such as 3 D printing and digital simulators, will facilitate teamwork in REI-ART and enable a better transmission of knowledge in the specialty.
