General Information
Overview
Andrology, the branch of medicine concerned with male sexual and reproductive health, emerged as a specialty at the end of the nineteenth century. However, it was not until the latter half of the past century that andrology had been recognized as one of the most intriguing sub-specialties of human reproduction. The demand for andrologists and reproductive urologists is increasing; however, there are insufficient experts to keep pace with the requirement. The scope of modern andrology covers a broad spectrum from genetic studies to assisted reproduction techniques, and there is a clear need for updating healthcare professionals in these aspects.
This preceptorship will offer urologists, gynecologists, embryologists, andrologists and scientists working in ART an opportunity to learn the tools to implement reproductive andrology in a Fertility Center. The participants will be guided by international experts through lectures, debates and interactive discussions.
Apart from providing new insights into male infertility, this educational activity will give a guided journey through a modern centre specialised in male reproductive health.
Learning Objectives
With this preceptorship, the participants will learn how to standardize the male infertility evaluation and its importance for ART success. They will also learn about basic and specialized sperm function tests, how to order and interpret results. Participants will acquire knowledge on the most effective treatments for the infertile male and how they can add value to improve ART success. The course will also touch on quality management and how to set up a successful sperm retrieval program.
Educational format
The virtual preceptorship will feature:
7 video lectures: that will be released throughout the course period with subtitles in Chinese, Portuguese, Spanish.
3 Live sessions (practical session in three ‘host’ clinics) will be streamed live and each session will provide the opportunity for more practical in-depth learning. Each live session will engage a group of participants that has prepared case studies and questions. The chair will present selected case studies/questions focusing on male infertility and ART, and discuss them live together with the host Clinic team. Prior to each live session, relevant MCQ and literature will be shared with participants. The pre-live exercises will guide discussion on the optimal clinical management for each case. More information on how to submit a case study and become an “Active participant” can be found below.
Chat room: During the three live sessions, users will be able to enter the chat room to discuss and ask interesting topics and debate with colleagues.
Diploma and Certificate: After competition of the activities HCP will receive Certificate and Diploma signed by the Chairs.
A library with a collection of articles related to the program will be provided.
Target Audience
The program is intended for clinicians, embryologists, andrologists, scientists, and managers working in ART who wish to update their knowledge of advanced techniques and scientific innovations and understand best practices using evidence-based models of care.
Language
The official language of the activity will be English. Translation in Chinese; Portuguese; Spanish for the video lectures will be provided.
Partnership
This program is designed in partnership with the Brazilian Society of Urology (São Paulo Section) and the Portuguese Society of Reproductive Medicine.

LH2022
General Information
Overview
The role of luteinizing hormone (LH) during folliculogenesis has intrigued the scientific and medical community for at least three decades. There is an emerging galaxy of research to explore concerning this enigmatic subject. The availability of recombinant drugs now offers, for the first time, the opportunity to examine the role of follicle stimulating hormone and LH separately. An emerging topic during last year’s conference was LH supplementation to improve the outcome in a subgroup of low prognosis patients selected according to POSEIDON classification.
During this conference we will discuss the management of these low prognosis patients in greater detail. Notably, we will move beyond controlled ovarian stimulation to explore further the involvement of LH in personalizing the luteal phase and in male infertility. Also, on the agenda will be the extra-gonadal effect of LH, including potential immune-modulation at the endometrium.
Following the precedent set at last year’s conference, considerable time will be devoted to basic science, alongside such controversial issues as progesterone rise and pharmacogenomics. This year we have attracted prominent scientists from the worlds of endocrinology, andrology, immunology and embryology to take part in our engaging educational programme.
Learning Objectives
After attending the educational activities, learners will be able to:
- Understand the importance of luteinizing activity during folliculogenesis and beyond.
- Understand the dynamics of hypothalamic-pituitary axis in the pathogenesis of hypo- and normo-gonadotropic amenorrhea.
- Comprehend the concept of relative gonadotropin deficiency.
- Discuss and debate the management of low prognosis patients.
- Comprehend the clinical utility of LH supplementation to patients classified according to the POSEIDON criteria.
- Discover the clinical relevance of LH supplementation in ART.
- Analyse the relevance of LH during the luteal phase and introduce the concept of individualized luteal phase support.
- Explore the potential role of LH in male infertility treatment.
Target Audience
This programme is designed for clinicians and biologists working in assisted reproductive medicine, who want to acquire up-to date information to improve their current practice.
Accreditation
The accreditation is valid for the live event days as well as for the live streaming and on-demand content for a period of 3 months after the congress.

Razionale
Per validare le attuali pratiche in ostetricia, ginecologia e medicina riproduttiva, per migliorare i tassi di gravidanza e natalità, sono indispensabili ricerche di alta qualità. Per condurre ricerca di alta qualità è necessario che i medici specialisti sviluppino vaste competenze e che possano condividere i risultati delle proprie ricerche con i colleghi. I corsi FAD proposti dal Journal Club Italia (JCI) sono rivolti a medici specializzati in diagnostica ostetricia, ginecologia e medicina riproduttiva, riguarderanno gli argomenti più importanti e controversi in questi ambiti. Il JCI mira a diffondere tra gli operatori sanitari la letteratura scientifica selezionata più recente. Ogni due mesi, la serie di corsi FAD approfondirà un articolo su temi diversi, dalla fecondazione in vitro al parto.

General Information
Overview
Management of patients with an impaired ovarian reserve or poor ovarian response (POR) to exogenous gonadotropin stimulation has challenged reproductive specialists for years. Apart from the limited understanding of its pathophysiology, there is wide heterogeneity in defining POR and overall disappointing outcomes in assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles.
The First POSEIDON’s World Conference will dissect the new POSEIDON criteria as a means to improve the management of patients exposed to assisted reproductive technology. The new criteria enable discussion of novel approaches catered specifically to patients with low prognosis during IVF, thereby offering better tools to optimise IVF success rates.
The programme will engage renowned international experts with vast clinical experience in constantly evolving subjects. The programme aims to impart specific knowledge with focus on changing concepts or practices.
Learning Objectives
With this conference, the participants will get acquainted with the state-of-the-art definition of impaired response to ovarian stimulation, comprehend the new low prognosis concept and its application in clinical practice, and individualise and manage women with expected or unexpected prognosis to ART as per the POSEIDON classification.
Target Audience
The program is intended for clinicians, embryologists, andrologists, scientists, and managers working in ART who wish to update their knowledge of advanced techniques and scientific innovations and understand best practices using evidence-based models of care.
Accreditation
This programme will be submitted for CME accreditation to EACCME® (European Accreditation Council for Continuing for Medical Education).
Through an agreement between the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS) and the American Medical Association (AMA), physicians may convert EACCME credits to an equivalentnumber of AMA PRA Category 1 Credits TM . Information on the process to convert EACCME credit to AMA credit can be found at https://edhub.ama-assn.org/pages/applications.

General Information
Overview
Andrology, the branch of medicine concerned with male sexual and reproductive health, emerged as a specialty at the end of the nineteenth century. However, it was not until the latter half of the past century that andrology had been recognized as one of the most intriguing sub-specialties of human reproduction. The demand for andrologists and reproductive urologists is increasing; however, there are insufficient experts to keep pace with the requirement. The scope of modern andrology covers a broad spectrum from genetic studies to assisted reproduction techniques, and there is a clear need for updating healthcare professionals in these aspects.
This preceptorship will offer urologists, gynecologists, embryologists, andrologists and scientists working in ART an opportunity to learn the tools to implement reproductive andrology in a Fertility Center. The participants will be guided by international experts through lectures, debates and interactive discussions.
Apart from providing new insights into male infertility, this educational activity will give a guided journey through a modern centre specialised in male reproductive health.
Learning Objectives
With this preceptorship, the participants will learn how to standardize the male infertility evaluation and its importance for ART success. They will also learn about basic and specialized sperm function tests, how to order and interpret results. Participants will acquire knowledge on the most effective treatments for the infertile male and how they can add value to improve ART success. The course will also touch on quality management and how to set up a successful sperm retrieval program.
Educational format
The virtual preceptorship will feature:
7 video lectures: that will be released throughout the course period with subtitles in Chinese, Portuguese, Spanish.
3 Live sessions (practical session in three ‘host’ clinics) will be streamed live and each session will provide the opportunity for more practical in-depth learning. Each live session will engage a group of participants that has prepared case studies and questions. The chair will present selected case studies/questions focusing on male infertility and ART, and discuss them live together with the host Clinic team. Prior to each live session, relevant MCQ and literature will be shared with participants. The pre-live exercises will guide discussion on the optimal clinical management for each case. More information on how to submit a case study and become an “Active participant” can be found below.
Chat room: During the three live sessions, users will be able to enter the chat room to discuss and ask interesting topics and debate with colleagues.
Diploma and Certificate: After competition of the activities HCP will receive Certificate and Diploma signed by the Chairs.
A library with a collection of articles related to the program will be provided.
Target Audience
The program is intended for clinicians, embryologists, andrologists, scientists, and managers working in ART who wish to update their knowledge of advanced techniques and scientific innovations and understand best practices using evidence-based models of care.
Language
The official language of the activity will be English. Translation in Chinese; Portuguese; Spanish for the video lectures will be provided.
Partnership
This program is designed in partnership with the Brazilian Society of Urology (São Paulo Section) and the Portuguese Society of Reproductive Medicine.

I corsi FAD proposti dal Journal Club Italia (JCI) sono rivolti a medici specializzati in diagnostica ostetricia, ginecologia e medicina riproduttiva, riguarderanno gli argomenti più importanti e controversi in questi ambiti. Il JCI mira a diffondere tra gli operatori sanitari la letteratura scientifica selezionata più recente. Ogni due mesi, la serie di corsi FAD approfondirà un articolo su temi diversi, dalla fecondazione in vitro al parto. Gli articoli saranno selezionati dai Topic Chairs, in collaborazione con gli Editors, tra i lavori pubblicati su riviste con alto impact factor. L’articolo selezionato verrà annunciato due settimane prima di ciascun corso FAD per consentire a tutti i partecipanti di leggerlo in anticipo. Nei FAD JCI l’articolo selezionato sarà presentato dal Topic Chair, da uno Specializzando e poi discusso da un Discussant. Le presentazioni approfondiranno i temi, i nuovi risultati e le implicazioni per la clinica e la ricerca di ciascun articolo. La discussione sarà aperta a tutti i partecipanti che potranno analizzare criticamente gli articoli e formare la propria opinione. I FAD si terranno in modalità sincrona nelledate programmate. Coloro che non avranno la possibilità di prendervi parte, potranno accedere alla modalità asincrona nelle date indicatenell’agenda. Potrai seguire le presentazioni, conoscere le nuove tendenze scientifiche e prendere parte a vivaci discussioni con molti validi colleghi senza lasciare la tua scrivania!
