Participants are introduced to the technical environment of an ART laboratory and the processes involved from oocyte collection to embryo transfer.
Day 6 - IVF Laboratory & Oocyte Handling
Laboratory standards, culture conditions, oocyte identification, grading and principles of conventional IVF.
Day 7 - ICSI & Sperm Selection
Indications and workflow of ICSI, sperm-selection approaches such as PICSI and IMSI, and fundamentals of fertilization assessment.
Day 8 - Embryo Development & Cryopreservation

Module 4 - Advanced ART & Clinical Integration
Days 9–14
The final module brings together complex infertility management, advanced ART concepts and the practical aspects of running a fertility service.
Day 9 - Complex Infertility Cases
ART considerations in PCOS, OHSS risk, endometriosis and the role of laparoscopy and hysteroscopy.
Day 10 - Donor Programs & Reproductive Ethics
Egg and sperm donation, third-party reproduction, surrogacy, regulatory considerations and ethical decision-making.
Days 11–12 - Practical Laboratory Sessions
Focused laboratory training covering semen analysis, sperm preparation, oocyte handling and embryo assessment through appropriate practical or simulated exercises.
Day 13 - IVF Practice & Case Review
Integration of clinical and laboratory workflows, assessment of unsuccessful IVF cycles, patient communication and key considerations in establishing an IVF service.
Day 14 - Assessment & Fellowship Completion
Knowledge assessment, participant case presentations, faculty review, feedback and certification.
Clinical & Laboratory Exposure
The fellowship provides exposure to both sides of ART practice.
Clinical Environment
Participants may observe selected fertility procedures and consultations according to the clinical schedule, including:
- Ultrasound-based cycle monitoring
- Oocyte retrieval
