Abstract
Racial and ethnic disparities have been reported in every field of medicine. High costs associated with infertility treatment and restricted access to care has made assisted reproductive technologies particularly susceptible and vulnerable to disparity. Despite advances in the field, emerging literature has continued to demonstrate poorer outcomes in minority women receiving treatment with assisted reproductive technologies.
