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.
