Advanced ART Course for Embryologists
An opportunity for "Hands-on Training"
The advanced ART course for embryologists is designed to provide an in depth knowledge into the intricacies of reproductive technology. This program combines theoretical learning with hands-on training (simulation), offering a comprehensive understanding of the current ART landscape. This Embryology Course in Bangalore has been designed in such a way that it focuses on developing new techniques in ART and improving existing ones.
Objectives
- To divulge a comprehensive overview of all aspects of the ART laboratory, including the set-up and running of the lab, specific procedures, and quality control to ensure the highest possible success rates in an IVF program.
- To provide each apprentice an opportunity to have a complete learning experience.
- Faculty will work one-on-one with trainees throughout the course, providing a total overview and continuous assessment.

Simulation Training
- Embryo Transfer
- Oocyte Retrieval
Mentees in this program will engage in extensive hands-on training sessions, working with the latest equipment and techniques in a monitored simulation lab. Our advanced simulator machines will simulate real-life scenarios, allowing embryologists to practice and refine their skills under the guidance of experienced faculty members.
ET commonly known as Embryo Transfer is an important component of the ART procedures. This procedure involves the placing the fertilized embryo into the uterus of a patient. The success of this procedure depends majorly on the embryologist's expertise, as they play a key role in the selection, handling, and transfer of embryos.
The Oocyte Retrieval involves extraction of mature eggs from the ovaries, which are then fertilized in the laboratory. As an Embryologist, you will be asked with assessing the quality of the retrieved oocytes. Further, they must also ensure that the oocytes are processed under optimal conditions to maximize their potential for successful fertilization and development.
