IVF Fellowship in India: What you need to know?

A lot of things have made natural conception difficult! It is thus quite clear that preconception is gaining grounds at maternity clinics. There are many young couples who have been married for a couple of years seeking infertility treatment. “Eager to conceive” is the trend that one may expect to witness in the coming days. This has indeed been one of the major causes why Obstetricians and Gynaecologists feel the need to know about the treatment techniques. It is thus “in” to be trained.

Moreover, the problem of infertility may be addressed to a limited extent within the clinic itself. The next stage would involve the referral of specialized treatments like IVF, ICSI, IMSI and more to the IVF centers. Within the IVF centers, the two most crucial key roles would be played by the Gynecologist and the Embryologist. In order to ensure successful results, each IVF center strives to bring in the best within the field in terms of their credentials.

What sets us apart:

• The curriculum is developed by Industry experts under the chairmanship of Dr Kamini Rao. It is aligned with the latest ART guidelines as well.

• No entrance exam and restriction on intake – if the batch size exceeds the limit, the subsequent immediate batch will be available
• Networking is another big opportunity with faculty and peers

Under Fellowship in Reproductive Medicine, the theory comprises of 8 modules and is covered over 8 months, in principle 1 module a month. The e-learning platform is built in such a way that it has assessments for the timely understanding of the topics dealt. At the end of the 8 modules, there will be the online mid-term exam.

Following successful clearance of the mid-term exam comes the ‘simulation’. It is obvious that skills are critical and correlating knowledge with the skills will form the basis of the IVF treatments.

Compliant with international standards, the best available models that we have include PickUpSIM for OPUs and VirtaMed for Embryo transfer and IUIs. This kind of training would make the experience of our clinicians almost similar to that in real-life situations.

And now comes the conclusion section of this course, namely Clinical Attachment. In this section, the candidates shall be posted at various ART centers where they will learn about the patient’s journey during IVF treatment, which involves history taking, counselling, assessment, scans, stimulation, egg picking, and embryo transfer. 180 hours are supposed to be logged into the logbook.

This marks the end of one-year fellowship syllabus and the exact dates for final examination would be notified after that. The successful applicants would be awarded the FRM certificate by the university at the time of convocation ceremony.
