    INFO ABOUT THE COURSE


    OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE

    • Knowledge and understanding: This course aims to provide, through theoretical lessons in English, a complete and updated knowledge of all aspects of clinical IVF treatment including egg collection, egg maturity and quality assessment, sperm preparation, conventional IVF, ICSI, embryo assessment, embryo transfer, cryopreservation of oocytes and embryos, trophectoderm biopsy and biobanking.
      At the end of the course students will be able to apply the theoretical knowledge and the main laboratory methods related to assisted reproductive techniques.
    • Applying knowledge and understanding: At the end of the course students will be able to apply the theoretical knowledge and the main laboratory methods related to assisted reproductive techniques, by means of an oral examination.
    • Making judgements: During the theoretical and practical lessons will be evaluated the students ability to develop experimental protocols, to apply them properly, to collect and analyze the data, through independent (self-evaluation test) and group activities (laboratory exercises).
    • Communication: The communication skills of the student will be evaluated as follows: - Ongoing, throughout the course. The large amount of guided practice activities and the favorable ratio teachers/students will allow a continuous dialogue between students and teacher. - At the final examination. Students will be evaluated for their ability to communicate the acquired knowledge using the appropriate technical-scientific language.
