Description
General objective
To update and expand knowledge on reproductive medicine based on already acquired notions about human reproduction and endocrinology
Specific objectives
- To review endocrinology, physiology and anatomy of human reproduction
- To update knowledge on the epidemiology of sterility
- To get to know the current protocol for the basic sterility study
- To review the most relevant pathology in both men and women related to fertility
- To acquire new knowledge about the different ART and their potential complications
- To incorporate guidelines on diagnosis and action protocol on special situations in reproduction
- To provide information on the legal framework in which ART is carried out
Skills
Course 1: Searching for Sterility Origin
>To identify situations related to sterility/infertility
>To determine when it is necessary to corder studies on patients and which ctests are needed
>To determine the cause of infertility cand a diagnosis by analyzing cinformation from a patient’s medical chistory and examinations
>To understand when to utilize surgical cinterventions before ART
Course 2: Assisted Reproduction Techniques
>To identify the most appropriate ovarian stimulation or endometrial preparation regimen
>To select the cases in which a more precise evaluation or selection of gametes or embryos is indicated
>To maximize the chances of having a healthy live newborn
>To understand the application of genetics in assisted reproduction
>To prevent or treat ART side effects
Course 3: New Challenges in Infertility Treatments
>To detect circumstances where a cmultidisciplinary approach to ART would be prudent
>To rely on expertise from disciplines adjacent to or outside of fertility medicine, such as genetics, cancer, immunology, and microbiology
>To successfully treat patients who have cancer, implantation failure, or persistent viral infections
>To develop the diagnostic algorithm and determine the additional tests each patient requires in accordance with his or her underlying pathology and to personalize a therapy approach
