Course description

According to the Centers for Disease Control, approximately 1.9% of all infants born in the United States every year are conceived with assisted reproductive treatment (ART). Surveys suggest 8 - 49% of patients add acupuncture to their ART. If you want to specialize in fertility acupuncture, specialized skills and knowledge are needed. In this course, you will learn to apply the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment strategies and necessary modifications to support patients undergoing in vitro fertilization and frozen embryo transfers we discussed in the "getting to know your local IVF clinic" course safely and effectively.

Instructor

Instructor Lee Hullender Rubin

Lee Hullender Rubin, DAoM, MS, LAc, FABORM, is an internationally recognized pioneer who wrote the research demonstrating the impact of acupuncture and the whole system of EAM on IVF outcomes, with over 30 published studies building the evidence base that fertility practitioners rely on today. She has credentials that open doors for other practitioners. Her groundbreaking research demonstrates that a whole-systems EAM approach dramatically improves IVF live birth rates. This isn't theoretical knowledge—it's more than 24 years of clinically-tested experience from someone who managed an IVF program at a fertility clinic, worked alongside physician researchers at UCSF and OHSU, and trains the next generation of fertility specialists worldwide.
