Short courses and workshops

We offer a range of on- and off-campus practical short courses and workshops which are geared to employers and employees within the IVF Industry. Courses are designed to be flexible and training is arranged to suit individuals or groups.

Our most recent short course was ‘Is he really Infertile’ held in August 2022. Further courses will be advertised when they are confirmed.

We also offer individualized training on demand

IVF clinics worldwide are moving rapidly towards individual and clinic accreditation. Professional development is becoming a requirement for embryology and related staff working in IVF clinics and human fertility services to provide state-of-the-art knowledge and practical skills and to prepare them for any accreditation requirements. The Education Program in Reproduction and Development offers a range of on-campus practical workshops for employees within the IVF Industry. Courses are designed to be flexible and training is arranged to suit individuals or groups, depending on resources, requirements and skills. When available, courses will be announced on this website, however we can take expressions of interest. Please email Sally Catt (sally.catt@monash.edu).
