Succesful Completion of the Course
For the successful completion of the ‘’Advanced Course in Clinical Embryology’’ participants should:
1. Attend and successfully complete the educational goals of each Teaching Module
2. Pass two online written exam sessions
3. Pass a Critical Analysis Skills Assessment following the completion of the 10th Teaching Module
4. Have no financial obligation on Tuition Fees which should be paid in full.
#Attend and successfully complete each Teaching Module
The Advanced Course in Clinical Embryology brings together high-impact researchers and global leaders in the field as faculty.
Direct interaction with them is one of this course’s most valued assets. Live, synchronous attendance is therefore strongly encouraged, as the exchange between participants and instructors has long been recognized as a defining strength of the Advanced Course in Clinical Embryology. Participants are expected to complete all teaching hours for each Module. While synchronous attendance is strongly encouraged for the depth of engagement it offers, where live attendance is not possible, asynchronous participation through the e-class platform is possible. Participants are encouraged to engage with recorded sessions to ensure that no session is missed and no content is left unattended.
#Exams
To Successfully complete the ‘’Advanced Course in Clinical Embryology’’ participants should complete two online written exams in the format of multiple-choice questions.
The first exam will take place upon completion of the 5th Teaching Module, and the second exam upon completion of the 11th Teaching Module.
- Each online exam session will include 50 MCQs with a total duration of 70’ minutes and will be conducted on e-class at the participants’ own time. The examination platform will be open for five days.
