The Education Program in Reproductive Biology (EPRB) is a joint venture of the Monash Institute of Reproduction and Development and Prince Henry's Institute of Medical Research, in association with the Monash departments of Anatomy, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatrics, Physiology and Pharmacology. The primary aim of the EPRB is to foster education and research into reproductive biology and medicine. In addition to providing postgraduate courses, the EPRB provides education and training for the scientific and medical communities and the general public in all areas of reproductive biology. The EPRB offers the Graduate Diploma in Reproductive Sciences over one year of full-time or two years of part-time study.
The aim of this course is to provide a thorough theoretical understanding of, and practical training in, the applications of reproductive biology to current clinical human and veterinary medicine, and the social and ethical issues that the use of these techniques raises. The course also provides the opportunity for those currently interested in reproductive sciences to update their knowledge.
At the completion of the course, students will be able to demonstrate a
thorough theoretical understanding of human and animal reproductive sciences
and demonstrate practical techniques currently in use in human medical and
veterinary reproductive sciences.
Applicants must have a bachelors degree in medicine, science or nursing or
equivalent qualifications or experience in the reproductive sciences gained
after completing a pass degree in another field.
The course consists of five core units and two elective units.
Assessment is by written examinations, 3000 and 5000-word literature reviews, the demonstration and understanding of selected practical skills, poster and oral presentations and critical reviews.
