Fertility Nursing Symposium 2025: The Essential Event for the New Era of Assisted Reproduction Nursing
Nursing specialized in assisted reproduction is experiencing one of the greatest periods of growth and transformation in its history. Every year, thousands of patients rely on fertility treatments to fulfill their dream of becoming parents, and with this comes the increasing need for trained, up-to-date professionals who can support patients through a process that is both complex and emotionally demanding. In this context, innovative training initiatives become essential to prepare the next generation of fertility nurses.
With this purpose in mind, the Fertility Nursing Symposium 2025: Introduction to REI Care for Nurses was created—an educational event organized by RMA New Jersey, in collaboration with IVI RMA and endorsed by the New Jersey State Nurses Association and the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation. This training program is designed to elevate the role of nursing in reproductive endocrinology and infertility (REI), integrating science, clinical practice, and a human-centered approach to care.
Below, we take an in-depth look at why this symposium has become a benchmark event in reproductive nursing and how it is transforming the way professionals learn, support patients, and practice within reproductive medicine.
A Training Program That Meets the New Needs of Reproductive Nursing
Assisted reproduction has evolved radically in recent decades. What was once a limited field—difficult to access and surrounded by taboos—is now a consolidated medical specialty, highly technological and with a rapidly growing need for trained professionals.
Throughout this evolution, nursing has become a key pillar:
- coordinating clinical workflows,
- educating patients throughout their treatment,
- managing medication administration,
- providing emotional support,
- acting as a bridge between patients, laboratories, and medical teams.
The Fertility Nursing Symposium 2025 responds precisely to this reality: training professionals capable of handling advanced clinical knowledge, communication skills, technical competencies, and scientific judgment to excel in a highly specialized environment.
A Symposium Designed to Learn, Participate, and Apply
The event will take place on November 16, 2025, in a hybrid format: in person at the RMA New Jersey auditorium in Basking Ridge, and live online for those who prefer virtual attendance. This structure allows professionals from across the United States and other countries to participate.
Over eight hours of intensive content, the program includes:
- keynote lectures from leading experts,
- practical workshops,
- real clinical case presentations,
- virtual lab tours,
- interactive discussions,
- sessions dedicated to professional roles and current challenges.
The symposium combines technical and human elements, becoming a comprehensive training experience that can be applied in clinical practice immediately.
What Makes the Fertility Nursing Symposium a Unique Training Experience?
This event is not just another theoretical congress. It has been designed to enhance professional practice, provide useful tools, and integrate the latest scientific evidence. Some of the aspects that make it stand out include:
- A multidimensional approach to the reproductive process
The symposium covers all essential areas of REI nursing: endocrinology, embryology, genetics, clinical coordination, patient education, and emotional support.
- Case-based learning
Participants work through common real-life scenarios: uncertain results, expectation management, cycle complications, key clinical decisions, and more.
- Rigorous scientific updates
Sessions include topics such as preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-A), the latest IVF advances, hormonal protocols, initial fertility assessments, and understanding laboratory processes.
- The real role of nursing in REI
A dedicated roundtable explores responsibilities, competencies, and emerging roles within multidisciplinary reproductive teams.
- A human-centered, patient-focused perspective
Beyond the technical aspects, the symposium delves into the patient’s emotional experience—an essential component of fertility nursing.
