Jones Rounds is a 2-part modality:
(1) Grand Rounds address foundational and cutting edge legal and ethical aspects of the ARTs.
(2) Interactive Case Rounds explore a timely, challenging inter-disciplinary issue through a case-based interactive presentation and discussion.
Presented by Susan L. Crockin, JD, Jones Grand Rounds address both foundational and cutting-edge legal and ethical issues surrounding the ARTs to give Ob/Gyn and REI learners a more robust understanding of, and ability to meet, the unique challenges of practicing ART medicine today. Typically 50-60 mins. including Q & A.

“…Jones Rounds yesterday was one of the most engaging and interesting discussions and it sparked a lot of talk even today. This is a WONDERFUL didactic idea!!”

“It was a great session… our fellows really enjoyed it and learned a lot… understanding the complexities of reproductive rights is an essential part of training the next generation of providers and a critical component of our own ongoing learning.”

“Jones Rounds are superb-I am certain how pleased Dr Howard would be—far ranging impact.”

By Susan L. Crockin
The idea for Jones Rounds™ emerged as a means of bringing to a new generation of REI Fellows and others the legacy of IVF pioneer and visionary Dr. Howard W. Jones, Jr. (1910-2015), who always believed in learning through spirited, interactive and interdisciplinary exchanges of ideas. Often called “the father of IVF” and a personally cherished mentor, “Dr. Howard” always challenged me– as he did everyone he interacted with– to think expansively and beyond the present to the future “roads not (yet) traveled” in reproductive medicine and science together with their impacts on law, ethics, and society.
Jones Rounds emerged as a two-part curriculum designed to impart that curiosity and passion for learning and advancing all aspects of the ARTs: Part 1, Jones Grand Rounds, addresses these larger inter-disciplinary issues in a traditional setting for Ob/Gyn Departments and others. Part 2, Jones Interactive Case Rounds, is designed as an intensely interactive “deep-dive,” where we problem-solve a complex case-based issue, using innovative techniques to draw out the often competing medical, legal, ethical, and psychosocial issues facing REI professionals and patients. These Case Rounds meet most ACGME didactics requirements.
Both programs can be done in person or virtually. A virtual Jones Interactive Case Rounds presents the opportunity for 2-3 fellowship programs to come together and learn not only from our content experts but other programs and leaders.
