Course Description
Leading embryologists have designed the Fellowship in Embryology Course for healthcare professionals and medical practitioners like you who wish to learn more about Embryology and Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART) – IVF, ICSI, IUI.
The Embryology Fellowship course includes the legal and ethical aspects along with the latest advances. According to WHO estimates for 2022, 48 million couples and 186 million individuals worldwide live with infertility. The use of infertility treatments and assisted reproductive technology (ART) by infertile couples increases by 5% to 10% per year. The contribution of a “Professional in Assisted Reproductive Technology” in infertility treatments is equivalent to a fertility consultant. 1 in 6 people needs a trained professional in Assisted Reproductive Technology.
You will be trained to become a professional in Assisted Reproductive Technology who is in charge of every step of the process, from retrieving an ovum and sperm to implanting a viable embryo into the womb and monitoring the pregnancy for a successful delivery. This course includes a 6-month contact program in leading fertility clinic chains in major Indian cities allowing you to understand and apply your knowledge in real-world clinical settings.
