Embryology Chairs

Purpose: Through a hands-on experience, this workshop provides insight and technical knowledge about the laboratory procedures that comprise IVF and aspires to catalyze appreciation, curiosity and empathy about how assisted reproductive technology supports family building. The opportunity to handle cells and operate the instruments in an IVF laboratory can highlight this special professional occupation and serve as an excellent introduction to this laboratory specialty. For the interested non-scientist who may be interested in IVF from a medical, nursing, administrative or legal perspective, the workshop is a unique event at which to obtain a foundation in this aspect of reproductive medicine. Additionally, the committee focuses on developing a robust Embryology track.
