ACTIVITY TITLE: Embryology Certificate

ACCREDITATION STATEMENT

The Moroccan Society for Endometriosis and Reproductive Medicine (MSERM) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

NEEDS ASSESSMENT and IDENTIFICATION OF PRACTICE GAP

Many couples that are unable to conceive will proceed to use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART). This involves a collaborative effort between reproductive endocrinologists, laboratory personnel, reproductive biologists, and nurses.
Discussion and evidence about reproductive laboratory technologies can be found not only in the scientific literature, but in the popular press and on the Internet as well. New technologies with implications for the treatment of the infertile couple are being developed and advancing rapidly such that even experienced embryologist might benefit from additional educational opportunities. It is important, therefore, that clinicians, laboratory scientists and allied health professionals are aware of the basic evaluation and treatment during an IVF cycle, as well as progress in technology that may have an impact on IVF now or in the future. This area has been identified as a practice gap for reproductive care clinicians and scientists based on recent competence assessments by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine.

The Moroccan Society for Endometriosis and Reproductive Medicine (MSERM) has established an online Embryology Certificate . This online EXAM will provide easily accessible and detailed content in the field of basic and advanced ART laboratory techniques as well as provide critical basic science and background information. This course will provide a common knowledge set appropriate for the broad range of health care professionals involved in the treatment of the infertile couple that proceeds to ART, provide training in the assessment of parameters of gametes and embryos, laboratory technologies, and laboratory management as well as assisting embryologists in identifying strategies for improving the IVF laboratory.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
