2-Day Hands-On Workshop
Ovum Pick-Up & Embryo Transfer
2nd-3rd May 2026 | Patiala, Punjab
✓ Limited Seats | ✓ Simulator Based Training | ✓ Certification Included
About This Workshop
This intensive hands-on workshop focuses on two of the most critical
procedures in IVF practice – Ovum Pick-Up (OPU) and Embryo Transfer (ET).
Through simulator-based training and expert faculty guidance,
participants will develop the precision and confidence required to
perform these procedures effectively.
