Description
Fundamentals in Human Reproduction Professional focuses on developing your knowledge and practical skills in this field.
In this programme, this course is fundamentally critical to develop your practice in subfertility and reproductive medicine. We have aligned the structure and syllabus of this programme with those of the Royal College of Obstetricians Gynaecologists and the British Fertility Society to optimise your learning experience.
In Term 1, which lasts 12 weeks, you will develop your core knowledge and skills. We will facilitate your learning with lectures, e-books links, videos, and carefully selected open source learning material. During this stage you will be expected to develop the following skills; (a) appraise a full clinical history and undertake a thorough assessment of the female partner; and (b) describe and communicate to patients the normal anatomy, hormonal regulation of the menstrual cycle, and ovulation.
In Term 2, of fundamentals of human reproduction, you will continue to develop your knowledge of complex topics and professional attributes required in subfertility and reproductive medicine practice. You will develop your skills by submitting for faculty review representative images or cine loops of common gynaecological case scenarios identified during diagnostic tests. These include; ultrasound, hysteroscopy or laparoscopy images, for example a hydrosalpinx, ovarian cysts, fibroids, tubal assessment with HSG or HyCoSy. Additionally, if appropriate to your role, you will utilise the above skills to formulate a plan of action.
During Term 1 and Term 2 you will undertake four short quizzes (two at each term) for assessment of knowledge. Ultimately, you conclude the academic domain with a final knowledge exam.
You will conclude the practical domain with an assessment of your practical skills using our state of the art simulators. Moreover, successful completion of three courses including practical exams will lead to the “Professional Diploma in Subfertility and Reproductive Medicine”.
