Hands-On Ovum Pick-Up & Embryo Transfer

Ovum Pick-Up & Embryo Transfer: 2-Day Hands-On Workshop

Limited Seats | Simulator Based Training | Certification Included

About This Workshop

This intensive hands-on workshop focuses on two of the most critical procedures in IVF practice – Ovum Pick-Up (OPU) and Embryo Transfer (ET).

Through simulator-based training and expert faculty guidance, participants will develop the precision and confidence required to perform these procedures effectively.
