Course description

This is the much-anticipated update to my previous online lectures on this topic form 2016. In this course, we will review the latest research on acupuncture to support reproduction or as a supplemental treatment to IVF. You will become confident in communicating the evidence and answering questions about its strengths and limitations. Finally, you will gain strategies to build relationships with key reproductive medicine stakeholders: IVF clinic staff, doctors, and community fertility professionals. This course is also an important course to prepare you for ABORM certification.
