Dr. Franasiak completed his Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility fellowship training at Reproductive Medicine Associates of New Jersey (RMANJ) in the Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson fellowship program.

Dr. Franasiak is a board certified Obstetrician Gynecologist, board certified Technical Supervisor in Embryology and Andrology. He is active in the American College of Obstetrician and Gynecologists (ACOG) on the Practice Bulletin Committee for Gynecology. He also serves the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) and has been on the executive board of the Society for Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (SREI). He volunteers as an OB/GYN Clinical Advisor for Osmosis – Integrated Medical Learning and works with Kaplan Test Prep for USMLE Step, 1, 2, and 3 reproductive medicine coursework.
Dr. Franasiak has been invited to speak nationally and internationally and has authored and contributed to over 100 peer reviewed publications, published chapters and abstracts. He serves on the Editorial Board for Fertility and Sterility and the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. He also serves as Ad Hoc Reviewer for the Journal of Assisted Reproduction Genetics, Human Genetics, Reproductive BioMedicine Online, Human Reproduction, and Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology and as the editor for a textbook on recurrent implantation failure.
