Advanced Fertility Masterclass
Rhiannon presents this 3-part, 7 hour masterclass for experienced practitioners already working in the fertility and ART-support field. A deep dive into those challenging presentations, to optimise support for our particularly complex patients.
Please note: This course is intended for practitioners with an advanced understanding of fertility and assisted reproductive technology (ART), and goes above and beyond those factors discussed in Rhiannon's other masterclasses. Participants are expected to have a working knowledge of preconception care, sex hormone assessment, semen analysis interpretation, as well as an understanding of ART, including ovulation induction (OI), in vitro fertilisation (IVF) & intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and safe and effective functional medicine support, as these factors are not be revisited. Prior completion of the IVF Support Masterclass, Endometriosis Masterclass, Female Hormone Assessment & Herbal Medicine Prescription Masterclass and Male Hormone Masterclass is recommended.
Learning Outcomes
⭐ Confidently identify factors influencing poor fertility outcomes.
