Description
This course presents the broadest knowledge about the ongoing potential of human pre-embryos, since they are a reflection of the quality of the gametes that have formed them. External conditions can modify or attenuate the ongoing capacity.
Important information:
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.
To successfully complete the training and obtain the corresponding certificate, the student must obtain a percentage greater than or equal to 70% of correct answers in the final evaluation. To do this, you will have two opportunities to take the exam.
Skills
Learning outcomes expected to be acquired by the student at the end of the course:
