About the course

A unique field in medical disciplines

Reproductive medicine is a unique field in medical disciplines. It involves deeper study of the male and female reproductive systems and their functioning, with the motive of a prospective child. Trainees learn to identify challenges and resolve them in the face of demanding cases.

With this course, candidates learn about basic anatomy, physiology, embryology, andrology and infertility, from diagnosis to management. Candidates also learn which cases should be referred for IUI or advanced ART. With the hands-on training, trainees additionally learn IUI, semen sample preparation and semen analysis.

Aim & objective

To impart the latest relevant knowledge and offer the opportunity to have a complete learning experience with expert clinicians, enabling them to examine, diagnose and give evidence-based advice with confidence to infertile couples.

The main focus of the two-day intensive is master training in diagnostic workup, ovarian stimulation protocols, semen analysis, and referral for IVF, for practising doctors and medical students.
