Get up to date on Infertility nursing and become qualified to work in the best Assisted Reproduction units"

This postgraduate diploma will take the student through several key aspects of Assisted Reproduction: anatomy of human reproduction, neuroendocrinology of reproduction, ovogenesis and spermatogenesis and other fundamental aspects.

Throughout the postgraduate diploma the student will approach the study of infertility in women from the most basic aspects. Through clinical history, the nursing student will begin by identifying the most important factors involved in it and will learn about the most relevant and frequent pathologies that affect women with infertility and will learn how to perform all the tests and protocols corresponding to their activity.

This program will also explore the field of male infertility, with a broad and specific tour through all aspects of these disorders. This specialization is extremely necessary since nurses are involved in many of the processes related to infertility. The nursing staff may be in charge of performing seminograms, sample analysis and processing, semen freezing, seminal cleaning or even managing the male donor bank. 

Another aspect of study of this postgraduate diploma is the relationship between genetics and immunology and assisted reproduction. The importance of karyotyping in assisted reproduction consultation will also be discussed. 

We will review more complex and novel techniques, such as CGH arrays, which are used in preimplantation genetic diagnosis. The key concepts of immunology will also be reviewed, and we will talk about the ever-changing immune system of women and the cell populations that compose it in order to develop the possible problems that can appear when there are autoimmune or alloimmune factors that compromise fertility. The main treatments that can be carried out in these cases will also be discussed. Finally, two specific cases will be discussed, endometriosis and Chlamydia trachomatis infection, which are closely related to inflammation and the immune system. 

With this postgraduate diploma you will be able to combine a high intensity specialization with your professional and personal life, achieving your goals in a simple and real way"
