Description
This course provides a broad overview of the human reproductive system and the main techniques used to diagnose and treat infertility. It begins with the anatomy and reproductive physiology of women and men, covering gametogenesis, hormonal regulation, and the phases of the menstrual cycle. It then addresses the most common causes of infertility in both sexes and the tests used to evaluate reproductive health.
The course also introduces assisted reproduction techniques, such as insemination, IVF, ICSI, gamete donation, the ROPA method, and preimplantation genetic testing, along with advanced tools like sperm selection, vitrification, and embryo assessment. Overall, it offers a clear, up-to-date view of the full assisted reproduction treatment process and the options available to achieve pregnancy.
The online course will be carried out through the e-learning platform: IVIRMA Campus. The student will receive a message with the access information and credentials 24/48 hours before the start of the course.
IVIRMA Campus can be accessed from Windows computers (7, 8 or 10) or Mac, using Chrome or Firefox in its last three versions. Access from mobile devices is not supported and does not ensure the correct operation of the course.
Designed for people interested in expanding their knowledge of human reproduction and fertility, whether they have prior training in the health sciences or are looking for a solid, accessible introduction.

Academic information
Competencies
Learning outcomes expected to be acquired by the student at the end of the course:
1. To apply genetics knowledge in reproductive medicine.
2. To identify the main bioethical aspects that must be considered in the application of assisted reproduction treatments, as well as their moral implications, according to Spanish legislation derived from human reproduction.
3. To apply Spanish legislation in cases of preimplantation testing and fertility preservation.
4. To recognize the organization and procedures of a reproduction clinic.
5. To identify a correct fertilization.
6. To analyze the different events that occur during embryo development.
7. To apply the principles of cryobiology to the protocols of cryopreservation techniques for cells, gametes and embryos.
8. To recognize the effects of aging and the basics of ovarian rejuvenation.
Program
Learning outcomes expected to be acquired by the student at the end of the course:
1. Explain the structure and function of the female and male reproductive systems, including gametogenesis and hormonal regulation of the menstrual cycle.
2. Analyze the causes and diagnostic processes of infertility in men and women, distinguishing it from sterility.
3. Describe and compare the main assisted reproduction techniques—such as IVF, ICSI, insemination, gamete donation, ROPA, and PGT—and their clinical applications.
4. Evaluate advanced gamete and embryo selection methods, including vitrification and embryo biopsy, and their role in reproductive success.
5. Integrate knowledge of ovarian stimulation, fertilization, and embryonic development to understand the complete assisted reproduction treatment process.
Cancellation and Refund Policy
Once the course has started, enrollment cancellation will not be possible, and no refunds will be issued under any circumstances.
Theoretical-practical courses are designed as an indivisible training unit; therefore, no refunds will be granted once the course has begun, even if the practical component has not yet started.
Course Completion
A course will only be considered successfully completed when the student has fully completed the entire program. If the course includes a practical component, it will not be deemed completed unless that component has been fully carried out.
No certificate of completion or attendance will be issued if the student has not completed all the activities included in the course program. Under no circumstances will certificates be issued for partial completion of either the theoretical or practical parts of the course.
