The aim is to evaluate oncology providers' knowledge of fertility preservation guidelines and identify barriers to oncofertility care.
Conducted a cross-sectional survey of oncology providers at a single academic medical center.
Survey assessed demographics, FP training, counseling practices, and perceived barriers.
Providers rated their knowledge and completed clinical vignettes to compare perceived versus demonstrated knowledge.
Providers reported limited formal training in oncofertility, with most rating their education as fair or poor.
High familiarity was noted for ovarian suppression and sperm cryopreservation, while low familiarity was reported for ovarian transposition and male-directed techniques.
Limited awareness of institutional FP resources and referral pathways was reported, with patient-level barriers cited most frequently.
