Quality Control Program in IVF Lab

Quality Control Program For IVF Lab

This course focuses on the application of total quality management to IVF laboratory processes which will help in standardization of laboratory procedures and optimization of results.

Quality Control in an IVF lab is the set of protocols defined for all the consumables, equipment and procedures in the lab which help in achieving high implantation rates. Basic quality management is still often poorly understood by embryologists & technicians. Risk analysis and minimization are important for the success of an IVF program, still many IVF scientists have only limited understanding of how to manage the lab in risk prone situations. The Fertilis Academy brings you an exclusive course entirely on quality control of an IVF Lab.

This course focuses on the application of total quality management to IVF laboratory processes which will help in standardisation of laboratory procedures and optimization of results.

Hybrid format—attend sessions either in-person or online.
