How does an established assisted reproductive technology (ART) program become a Tyho-Galileo Center?
To become a Tyho-Galileo Center, qualified ART programs must apply to and be accepted by the Tyho-Galileo Board of Directors. They must be committed to excellence in the provision of reproductive services, and must meet and agree to maintain certain standards of clinical practice – all of which is evidenced during annual site visits by a senior member of the Tyho-Galileo team. Tyho-Galileo Centers are also committed to ongoing research, and to fostering an atmosphere of inquiry and learning, as a means by which to advance the science and practice of reproductive medicine. Once designated to participate, Tyho-Galileo Centers provide data and case material for research, and agree to collaborate in clinical trials to test the efficacy of new and improved methods of treatment.
