Masterclass in Reproductive Medicine
Intensive clinical immersion — learning the specialty where it is practised
23–25 March 2027 · Abidjan · 8 participants
Reproductive medicine is a specialty in its own right, not covered by standard training in obstetrics and gynaecology. This masterclass transmits it through immersion, within a working fertility clinic.
Three intensive days to build the fundamentals — observing, practising real procedures, and understanding how a centre is built and run. A high-level initiation that opens onto a continuing pathway (online course and targeted hands-on internships at the clinic).
Prevention and management
Conducting the fertility consultation, the female and male workup, deciding and referring at the right time.
Skills — observe and practise
Beyond observation, supervised hands-on participation in the procedures of the specialty: fertility ultrasound (diagnostic and interventional), and a supervised approach to oocyte retrieval, embryo transfer, ICSI and endoscopy, alongside the experts.
Building and running a cost-controlled centre
The CNDT model: equipment, organisation, quality, business model.
Each morning, observation and supervised hands-on participation in real procedures. Each afternoon, teaching and practice. Small rotating groups.
