A complete, efficient and highly formative diploma that will allow you to advance your medical skills in a highly relevant field" 

Acquiring knowledge of anatomy, physiology and embryology is essential to serve as a basis and introduce the Expert. All the concepts developed in this module will have their implication in the rest of the topics developed in the other modules of the syllabus. Oovogenesis and spermatogenesis are the beginning of the reproductive process. From this point on, the fertilization of the egg by the sperm will depend to a great extent on the anatomical integrity of the male and female reproductive system, so its study also helps to understand possible reproductive dysfunctions. The correct fertilization of the oocyte by the sperm will be assessed once two pronuclei appear, which are provided from each of the reproductive cells. The study of embryology, cell division, the stages of embryonic development, are also key pieces in the understanding of the whole reproductive process. 

Once the anatomy and physiology have been introduced, we will explain in detail the basic study that is requested to a couple consulting for infertility, and the moment of its indication. 

The basic study of the male by evaluation of the seminogram has been a standardized procedure for years. It has taken several years to advance in the study of the male in more depth. In this module you will learn how to evaluate a basic semen analysis, as well as a semen analysis with REM (motile sperm count), which are performed for the initial evaluation of the male. In addition, the indications for more specific tests, such as sperm DNA fragmentation (single and single stranded) as well as sperm FISH, will be reviewed. 

Within the assessment of the male with azoospermia or with very severe male factors, a study will be learned, usually in conjunction with the urologist, which includes hormonal and genetic studies. The indications and different testicular biopsy techniques are reviewed, as well as the results of treatments using cryopreserved testicular biopsy specimens. 

Once the physiology of the ovarian cycle is known, the different drugs used in reproductive treatments for follicular recruitment and growth, as well as for ovulation induction, and their mechanisms of action are described. 

A postgraduate diploma created for professionals who require a specialization that optimizes their efforts, creating a relationship of optimal quality and efficiency, with the most complete and updated knowledge" 

This postgraduate diploma in Assisted Reproduction, Definitions, Research and Treatment Techniques offers you the benefits of a scientific, teaching and technological high-level course.  These are some of its most notable features:

• Support groups and educational synergies: questions to the expert, debate and knowledge forums
• Communication with the teacher and individual reflection work
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection
• Supplementary documentation databases are permanently available, even after the course

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”

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 with training 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 Specialist Diploma. 

The efficiency of the methodological design of this specialization'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 specialization.  

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. 

Increase your decision-making confidence by updating your knowledge with this postgraduate diploma"

You will be trained by professionals with extensive experience in the sector, who have deposited all their knowledge and experience in the development of this program"
