Educational needs and expected outcomes
 
There is a need to individualise treatment in ART but there are still knowledge gaps and non consensus in many aspects of treatment. This course aims to address those needs by active participation of delegates in discussion throughout the programme.
 
This course would provide knowledge on individualisation of ovarian stimulation and could cover the following educational needs
  1. Basic ovarian and stimulation physiology
  2. Provide a spectrum of points of view
  3. Covering current and cutting edge technology
  4. Cover areas of controversy

 

Innovative aspects of the course

A broad range of speakers with diverse knowledge and experience to share with delegates. We will cover basics but would also progress to current cutting edge technology.
