(01)Overview

Who it’s for

Medical graduates
Embryologists
Life-science graduates
IVF lab technicians

Theory sessions run in the academic room, and hands-on practice runs in the Department of Reproductive Medicine at Artemis Hospital: a functioning IVF lab, not a simulation room.

Batches are capped at four trainees, so every participant gets mentorship, not just lectures. Trainees handle the actual equipment, media and processes used in daily clinical practice.
