This Preceptorship is dedicated to providing new insights on hot topics in reproductive medicine through an interactive programme where each lecture is followed by specific case studies. This structure equips participants with up-to-date knowledge and the opportunity to share their experiences with peers and speakers. The live educational course will focus on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), controlled ovarian stimulation, recurrent implantation failure and new laboratory techniques and equipment for the optimization of IVF procedures.
By attending this live educational course, learners will:
• Be updated on the main aspects of PCOS and the management of PCOS patients undergoing COS
• Apply the evidence-based recommendations to achieve the best management in poor and hyper responder patients
• Identify the best strategies for preventing OHSS
• Recognise the best genetic and laboratory techniques and adjuvant treatment protocols to improve implantation potential and endometrial receptivity
