Course description

This course provides an in-depth update on vitrification techniques for gametes, embryos, and gonadal tissues in medically assisted reproduction. Participants will explore recent advancements, evolving protocols, and practical applications of vitrification to optimise treatment and fertility preservation. Designed for professionals in reproductive medicine, this programme ensures attendees stay at the forefront of cryobiology advancements.

 

Target audience

Embryologists, andrologists, clinicians, nurses, technicians, researchers and others involved in reproductive medicine and ART.

 

Educational needs and expected educational outcomes

This course addresses the need for scientists and embryologists to stay updated on advancements in cryopreservation. The transition from conventional methods to modern vitrification protocols has created a demand for deeper theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Embryologists require training to optimise outcomes, resolve everyday laboratory challenges, and implement the latest techniques effectively, combining hands-on experience with expert-led discussions to enhance proficiency in cryobiology. By the end of this programme, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of contemporary vitrification techniques and acquire the expertise to improve outcomes in their professional practice.

 

Innovative aspects of the course

This course includes a hands-on workshop that addresses real-world challenges such as timing of embryo vitrification and slow-freezing vs vitrification. This session will give attendees a unique opportunity to apply cutting-edge techniques in a controlled setting, allowing them to refine their practical skills.
