A high-level educational program created to improve the training of professionals in the field of Assisted Reproduction, including medical, laboratory and complementary areas"

Reproductive Medicine is a specialty that has been advancing by leaps and bounds in recent years thanks, fundamentally, to the improvement in laboratory techniques and the development of new genetic diagnostic techniques, which, on many occasions, can lead to the failure of previous reproductive treatments, offering new alternatives.

Physicians in this field should stay up to date on the area of diagnosis and treatment, but should also deepen their knowledge of the work that takes place in the laboratory. This helps to be able to transmit the necessary information to patients, especially if treatments aren’t successful. Likewise, within the laboratory, there must be an understanding of the work of the practice, the types of stimulation and the different factors that can affect the outcome of the treatments. The teamwork of the Human Reproduction Unit is what will allow for more personalized treatments.

The objective of this professional master’s degree is to give a global vision to all professionals that allows them to keep up to date in the work of the entire Assisted Reproduction Unit.

With a duration of 12 months, this program is composed of 10 modules and more than 50 units, where important aspects will be addressed such as the advances in the study of the female factor, especially at the level of the endometrial factor, in-depth study of the male factor, applications of genetic techniques in improving results, improvements in the laboratory through time-lapse systems, culture media and quality control systems. All this has been designed by a team of leading specialists in Reproductive Medicine in each one of the aspects dealt with throughout the course.
