The advanced course in ART for clinicians is designed to provide an in depth understanding of ART procedures. However, as a pre-requisite it is mandatory to undergo the Fundamentals of Reproductive Medicine and Basic infertility training prior to taking up this course. This course will enable the clinician to understand about the appropriate pharmacotherapy protocols for ovulation induction and controlled ovarian stimulation cycles based on patient response.
