Acquire in just a few weeks of intensive and stimulating work, the most advanced knowledge in reproductive genetics, with the practical ability to apply it"

Reproductive Medicine is a speciality which has been advancing at an incredible rate in the last few years, fundamentally thanks to the improvement in laboratory techniques and the development of new genetic diagnosis techniques. In many cases, they can shed light on the failure of previous reproductive treatments by offering new alternatives.

Doctors in this field should stay up-to-date on the area of diagnosis and treatment, but should also deepen their knowledge of the work that takes place in the laboratory. This helps to be able to transmit the necessary information to patients, especially if treatments aren’t successful. Likewise, within the laboratory, there must be an understanding of the work of the practice, the types of stimulation and the different factors that can affect the outcome of the treatments. Team work in the Human Reproduction Unit is what allows the treatments to be more personalized.

The objective of this postgraduate certificate is to give a global vision to all professionals that allows them to keep up-to-date in the work of the entire Assisted Reproduction Unit.

Spread over 12 months, this postgraduate certificate is composed of 11 modules and more than 50 topics, where important and innovative aspects will be addressed. These include the latest developments in the study of the female factor, especially at the level of endometrial factor and in-depth study of the male factor. In addition there is focus on applications of genetic techniques in improving results, improvements in the laboratory through time-lapse systems, culture media and quality control systems. All this has been designed by a team of leading specialists in Reproductive Medicine in each one of the aspects dealt with throughout the course.

With a methodological design based on proven teaching techniques, this postgraduate certificate course will take you through different teaching approaches to allow you to learn in a dynamic and effective way”

This course has been created to quickly obtain the most advanced knowledge of the medical and scientific panorama in the use of genetics in the assisted reproduction intervention environment"

Our teaching staff is composed of medical professionals, practising specialists. In this way, we ensure that we provide you with the training update we are aiming for. A multidisciplinary team of professors form and experience in different environments, who will develop the theoretical knowledge in an efficient way, but, above all, will bring their practical knowledge derived from their own experience to the course: one of the differential qualities of this postgraduate certificate.

The efficiency of the methodological design of this master's degree, enhances the student's understanding of the subject. Developed by a multidisciplinary team of e-learning experts, it integrates the latest advances in educational technology. This way, you will be able to study with a range of comfortable and versatile multimedia tools that, will give you the operability you need in your training. 

The design of this program is based on Problem-Based Learning: an approach that conceives learning as a highly practical process. To achieve this remotely, we will use telepractice:  with the help of an innovative interactive video system, and learning from an expert, you will be able to acquire the knowledge as if you were actually dealing with the scenario you are learning about. A concept that will allow you to integrate and fix learning in a more realistic and permanent way.

Our innovative telepractice concept will give you the opportunity to learn through an immersive experience, which will provide you with a faster integration and a much more realistic view of the contents: “learning from an expert”

The main objective of this postgraduate certificate is to bring the students' knowledge up-to-date in all areas surrounding decision making during the evaluation of the patient and her partner. This includes the diagnosis, prognosis and the subsequent treatments. A structured approach in all areas related to assisted reproduction, that will allow you to make a leap in your professional career with the expertise of the best online university in the world.

The main objective of this training is to provide you with updated knowledge in genetics concerning hereditary diseases, diagnosis of reproductive problems and intervention in them"
