Dr. Jeffrey Keenan is the Founder and Co-director of the Southeastern Center for Fertility and Reproductive Medicine and the President and Medical Director of the National Embryo Donation Center (NEDC) in Knoxville, Tennessee. This non-profit is the nation’s leading organization focusing on embryo donation and embryo adoption.

 

Keenan attended Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, graduating in 1979. Keenan then decided to pursue a career in medicine at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Upon receiving his medical degree with honors in 1983, Keenan interned at Mercy Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After his internship, he completed his residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee. His interest in reproductive medicine caused him to further specialize in this field. As a result, Keenan took up a fellowship in 1988 at Wayne State University where he focused on Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility.

 

Upon completion of his fellowship in 1990, Keenan became an active member of several professional medical societies, including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). In addition, he is a current member of the Society for Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility (SREI) and the Christian Medical and Dental Associations (CMDA). He also served as President of the East Tennessee OB/GYN Society from 1996-1997.

 

Keenan is board certified in both Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. Along with holding several certifications in his specialty fields, Keenan is an accomplished author, having written several book chapters and numerous articles published in the leading journals of the Endocrinology and Infertility fields.

 

In 2002 Keenan helped create the National Embryo Donation Center. This organization has allowed him to combine his extensive knowledge of Infertility along with the services of embryo donation and adoption. Keenan holds the position of full Professor and acts as the Director of the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at the University of Tennessee Medical Center.
