Scope of Embryology Training in India

The proliferation of new methods in assisted reproduction in the recent past has brought new changes in the field of Assisted Reproductive Technology. Candidates who are enthusiastic to seek embryology training in India with using diagnostic tools, laboratory equipment and facilities as well as marked improvements in the training of gynecologists and embryologists have all contributed to a significant increase in pregnancy rates over the past two decades across the world. There has been a wide scope for budding embryologists who are interested to contribute in the fertility industry. However, they should have extensive knowledge and experience to perform ART procedures. This is why International Institute of Reproduction and Fertility Training (IIRFT) have started offering short-term courses to participants.

The purpose of these courses is to understand and learn the basic skills in development and differentiation of human gametes (oocyte/sperm) and pre-implantation embryos by lecture and hands-on laboratory training.

Embryologists-Job Responsibilities

Embryologists work with people who are having reproductive health issues, such as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or difficulty conceiving, and are looking into in vitro fertilization (IVF) and other reproductive options. The main responsibility of an embryologist is to work with undeveloped egg cells, called oocytes, to assess their health and determine if they can be fertilized and implanted in the womb. 

They also prepare sperm so only the healthiest and strongest are used in procedures. Embryologists freeze, store, thaw and prepare all of the reproductive materials and instruments so that they can perform successful IVFs. Other responsibilities could include removing a woman's eggs, assessing sperm health, determining sperm levels and taking sperm donations.

International Institute of Reproduction and Fertility Training (IIRFT) have adopted many technologies and provide guidance to candidates in the fields of assisted reproduction techniques such as IVF, IUI and ICSI.

Employment Opportunities in Embryology

Embryology Technologists are employed at in-vitro fertilization clinics outside and within hospitals. Their work played a vital role during the IVF process. However, candidates with having sound educational background and specialized knowledge of Embryology are allowed to work in reproductive laboratories.

International Institute of Reproduction and Fertility Training (IIRFT) is dedicated to provide training to all the individuals at all levels of their careers, including students, medical fellows and embryologists.

The team at IIRFT is headed by its chairperson Dr. Rita Bakshi, a senior IVF specialist and gynaecologist, specialized in assisted reproduction. She has performed over 3000 ART cycles, delivered more than 4000 babies from assisted reproductive techniques.
