Biography:

Dr. Bedaiwy is a Professor and Division Head of, the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility, UBC Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. He received his medical degree from Assiut University School of Medicine, Egypt where he graduated Valedictorian, summa cum laude.

Dr Bedaiwy completed:

• Residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University Hospital Case Medical Center, CWRU, Cleveland, Ohio, USA
• Fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at the University Hospital Case Medical Center, CWRU, Cleveland, Ohio, USA
• Fellowship in Minimally Invasive Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, Ohio, USA
• Fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility in the Division of Reproductive Sciences, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada
• PhD from the University of Maastricht, the Netherlands for his work on ovarian tissue cryopreservation and transplantation

Dr. Bedaiwy is a prolific author with over 400 publications, including 100+ peer-reviewed publications. He is best known for his work in recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), endometriosis and minimally invasive surgery (MIS). He is also an associate editor of the Journal of Ovarian Research, a member of the editorial board for the Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery, and an ad hoc reviewer for several notable journals, including the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the Human Reproduction Journal, the Fertility and Sterility Journal, and more.

In 2013, Dr. Bedaiwy established the Early Pregnancy Research Program, focusing on recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) research. Approximately 50% of RPL cases remain unexplained; his work aims to advance understanding, improve patient care, and raise awareness of early pregnancy complications, particularly RPL.

He oversees the ProRPL Registry (ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT05989178), initiated in 2023, facilitating efficient data collection across diverse patient populations. This registry enables studies investigating genetic, immunological, and environmental factors contributing to RPL, as well as diagnostic tools and treatment outcomes. Given the broad impacts of RPL beyond physical health, Dr. Bedaiwy integrates patient-oriented research strategies, engaging individuals with lived experience to guide research areas and refine clinical care. To further knowledge translation and collaboration, he launched the Early Pregnancy Research website, providing evidence-based resources for patients, healthcare professionals, and researchers. Additionally, he is partnered with Butterfly Run BC, which supports individuals facing infertility, pregnancy loss, and infant loss.

Dr. Bedaiwy’s research focuses on endometriosis-related pain and infertility, investigating specialized surgical techniques and hormone therapies to develop personalized treatment approaches. By systematically evaluating the efficiency, effectiveness, side effects, and complications of treatments, he aims to reduce recurrence and improve quality of life while preserving fertility. His work also extends to innovative approaches in assisted reproductive technologies and minimally invasive surgical techniques for a variety of gynecological conditions, advancing precision treatments for these debilitating disorders.
