Hybrid Hands-On ICSI And Vitrification Training
Hands-on ICSI and Vitrification Training
The hands-on training program by The Fertilis Academy focuses on the most relevant lectures and extensive hands-on training on Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) & Vitrification.
ICSI is probably the most commonly used technique in an ART lab—one of the key skills mastered by few to achieve benchmark levels. The Fertilis Academy course is designed for aspirants who wish to hone their skills in this ART laboratory procedure. This advanced course encompasses all aspects of intracytoplasmic injection techniques and troubleshooting that can occur while performing this task.
The course helps in understanding, mastering, applying, and optimizing this technique to achieve satisfactory results. It expands the dimensions of understanding inside-out tricks of intracytoplasmic injection. With plenty of guided experience, candidates gain the confidence needed to accomplish this ‘only one chance’ critical task optimally.
Interactive sessions with mentors help clear doubts—from microns to light years. Participant hesitation and confusion after each session are also dealt with individually.
Eligibility:
Medical science graduates and postgraduates (MBBS/MD/BDS/BAMS/BHMS/B.Pharma/BSc), life science graduates and postgraduates, Embryologists, & Geneticists.
Course Date: 29th July to 10th August

VITRIFICATION/CRYOPRESERVATION TOPICS
Vitrification/cryopreservation is the master key of modern ART practice. This course will help participants understand the basics of cryobiology and improve the outcome of various cryopreservation procedures. We touch upon all the aspects of cryopreservation techniques and various procedural glitches/troubleshooting that can occur while performing this art.
- Essentials of Cryobiology (basic and advanced)
- Setting up of cryobiology lab
- Sample identification and witnessing
- Types of straws/vials, Samples (sperm, oocyte, embryos)
