About Dr. Jason Min

Dr. Jason Min was first introduced to the idea of becoming a physician at an early age. Dr. Min completed two Bachelor of Science degrees in Biochemistry and Psychology at the University of Calgary. In University, he also took courses in business and law. After seriously considering Graduate school and Law school, Dr. Min focused on medicine as a chosen career, and earned a position in medical school. Initially starting in Family Medicine, Dr. Min changed his residency programs to Obstetrics and Gynecology, which paved the way for a fellowship in Gynecologic Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility.

He then earned his Doctor of Medicine degree with Distinction and completed his residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Alberta. Following his two-year fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at the University of Ottawa, he joined the Ottawa Fertility Centre and was appointed Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Ottawa. While working at the Ottawa Fertility Centre, Dr. Min was presented with an opportunity to move back home to Calgary and join the Calgary Regional Fertility Program (“RFP”). He jumped at the chance to join this well-established and highly-regarded practice. In addition to his medical practice, Dr. Min is a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Calgary Cumming School of Medicine.

Dr. Min is certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Gynecologic Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. He has been an invited speaker at both national and international meetings and conferences, and has published scholarly articles and clinical practice guidelines in peer-reviewed journals. His practice includes all areas of reproductive care, with a particular interest in in vitro fertilization, third-party reproduction, and quality assurance in assisted reproduction.

At RFP, Dr. Min sees patients in the clinic for initial consultations, diagnosis, and management planning. He tries to help them understand the causes of their infertility and reproductive challenges and the treatment options they have available to them. As a Reproductive Endocrinologist, Dr. Min offers a wide range of treatment options. In addition to IVF, he performs ovulation induction, ultrasound monitoring, IVF procedures, and fertility preservation.

Outside RFP, Dr. Min has been involved with the Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society (“CFAS”) for over 15 years. The CFAS is a non-profit professional organization representing Canadian experts in Assisted Reproductive Technologies and reproductive sciences. The mission of the CFAS is to responsibly advance reproductive science and medicine in Canada through leadership, research, and guidance. Dr. Min founded and served as the Chair of the Clinical Practice Guideline committee from 2010 to 2016, and continues his involvement as a committee member. He has also sat on the Board of Directors since 2013 and was President of the Society for the 2017-2018 term.

In the years to come, Dr. Min sees continued movement towards making IVF stimulation safer and more patient-friendly, reducing the inconvenience of treatment. He believes there will be a move towards more non-invasive embryo evaluation techniques in order to improve the success rates of embryo transfer. Dr. Min hopes that Alberta will follow the lead of Ontario and Quebec and fund IVF treatment.

Dr. Min and his wife have two children, and he is honored to have the opportunity to help others have their children. When not at RFP, Dr. Min can be found at home, curled up on the couch with his family and dog or outside in front of a fire, occasionally with a glass of single malt scotch – neat, of course! He will likely be listening to a rather eclectic mix of music, including Groove Armada, Lady Gaga, and Mumford and Sons. His guilty pleasure is ’80s rock ballads. His unique musical tastes may have arisen during his time working as a bartender in a dance club during his University days…
