Course description

Infertility in people with sperm accounts for up to 50% of infertility cases. Acupuncture may be able to help, but accurate diagnosis is critical. In this course, learn how to assess infertility in people with sperm in EAM. Learn what information is needed, develop interviewing skills, review biomedical test results like sperm analysis and blood work, and accurately diagnose the EAM pattern(s) contributing to the poor sperm. Identify key signs/symptoms for diagnosis and EAM pathologies contributing to or causing infertility, implement a treatment plan, and recognizing when to adjust. At the end of this course, you will be able to assess, diagnose, and treat with acupuncture.
