The Clinical Embryology certificate provides training in the skills used in in-vitro fertilization (IVF), to certify the level of ability in the assessment of parameters of gametes and embryos and build increased competence in the IVF laboratories. This 10-credit hour certificate lasts three semesters starting in the Fall and ending in the following year's Summer.
This program is ideal if you:
- Are working in or preparing to work at an IVF center
- Wish to improve your clinical reproductive medicine knowledge and skills as clinical embryologists, andrologists, physician, and others involved in assisted reproductive technology (ART).
- Have plans to study in the Reproductive Clinical Science - Embryology & Andrology (M.S.) program.
This certificate is designed for the broad range of healthcare professionals involved in treating the infertile couple that proceeds to ART. Those new to the IVF field will be better prepared for laboratory work after completing the technology class. Students with a variety of skill levels in some areas will gain exposure to more skills training. The certificate is open to all US and international students.
Internal Transfer Credits: Students taking courses in and completing Clinical Embryology may apply to transfer these course credits into the Reproductive Clinical Science - Embryology & Andrology (M.S.) program. A grade of 'B' or better is required for each transferred course. If accepted into the program, approved internal transfer courses will be included on the student's transcript and will be used to calculate the cumulative GPA for the master’s degree.
