The International Council on Infertility Information Dissemination, Inc
An annual membership supports INCIID’s Charity Mission to help individuals and couples explore their family-building options. This means directing them to the appropriate care with a reproductive endocrinologist and other reproductive industry specialists (such as attorneys, nurses, social workers, or therapists).
INCIID provides current information (from professionals) and immediate support regarding the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of infertility and pregnancy loss, and offers guidance to those considering adoption or childfree lifestyles.
Professional members receive a full biographical listing in the INCIID directory where patients can search by state or by zip code and we also showcase our members on the INCIID homepage in a video format. (example). Member listing includes Google mapping, address, and location, phone, fax, professional certifications, awards, and area of specialty. Members can update their profile, add links, or advertise clinic events such as seminars and workshops for consumers.
As a professional member, we not only welcome your articles on the INCIID website, list your clinic events on our calendar, but also will welcome each member with a personal video (example). featured on our homepage. We invite all our members to publish consumer articles or even collaborate on learning modules to educate consumers. These modules and articles show consumers that physicians care about their struggle with infertility and pregnancy loss. An educated patient is a benefit to the clinic team.
Seventy-five percent of learning occurs through visualization. Visual literacy develops a patient’s ability to comprehend, make meaning of, and communicate adequately. Research evidence supports the premise that strong positive relationships between a clinic’s team members promote a patient’s capacity to follow through with medical recommendations. Studies over the last several decades conclude clinics and their staff’s ability to explain, listen and empathize have a profound effect on health outcomes and patient satisfaction with their experience.
INCIID professional members have their profiles in front of consumers on the INCIID Website – the first infertility site on the web in 1995. We have thousands of individual visitors every month. We will work with each individual or individual clinic to design an approach that is visual and supports communication with the patients.

To inquire about donating services to the INCIID IVF Scholarship Program, please contact us either by email or phone at (703) 379-9178. Clinics tell us that participation is very rewarding. Patients who can afford treatment tell us they want to support programs that support other infertility patients who cannot afford treatment.
Your support of the infertility consumer in the form of INCIID Professional Membership, Partnership, or Corporate Membership will support the important work we do. Infertile consumers who do have access to treatment are most appreciative of an effort on the part of generous physicians and clinics to support infertility consumers. INCIID supporting Doctors with Heart go above and beyond the norm to support consumers – and consumers, in turn, want to support clinics that give back to the community.
