This course is offered by the Monash Institute of Reproduction and Development (MIRD) through the Education Program of Reproductive Biology. It provides candidates with the essential postgraduate knowledge and skills necessary to contribute competently to the human infertility clinical services. Theoretical and practical skills are presented in the broader context of quality control procedures required to ensure maximum success in a clinical human IVF laboratory. The regulations that control these endeavours are also presented.
Applicants must have a medical degree, veterinary science degree, Bachelor of Science degree with honours or the equivalent professional experience in embryology or reproductive biology gained following a pass degree.
This is an intensive one-year, full-time laboratory-based course which begins in February and continues until the end of November. The course consists of eight units, six of which involve lectures accompanied by tutorials, seminars, journal reviews, discussion groups and some site visits. The other two units consist of practical work. Weekend and evening work in the laboratory is required, and student breaks are only allocated for one week over Easter and one week in July.
Assessment is via journal review presentations, 2500 and 3000-word essays, written examinations and tests for practical competence.
