Education Program in Reproduction and Development

Master of Clinical Embryology online course

Commencing in 2009, the Master of Clinical Embryology will be available as an off-campus, online degree. It is has been created specifically for professionals currently working in IVF clinics who seek to update their knowledge and skills and gain this highly regarded degree.

The course will be available to Australian Residents only in 2009, but due to high demand we expect the course to expand and include our overseas IVF colleagues by 2010.

The theoretical component of the course will be online, with continual assessment by way of essays, take-home exams, journal reviews and online discussions. Your particular IVF clinic will be assessed and accredited by our staff, and a mentor appointed to log your practical abilities (egg pick-ups, inseminations, ICSI etc, and record of success rates). This data will be used as credit points in each of the units in lieu of the practical skills normally taught and assessed onsite.

There is a small onsite component to the course. Extra practical skills will be taught in a series of short residential blocks based at the Monash Medical Centre. During these blocks, oral and written exams will be conducted to assess theoretical and practical skills.
