These links between IVFCPD courses and ESHRE Curriculum for the Certification for clinical embryologists is intended only as an aid to IVFCPD subscribers. ESHRE has not endosed these links nor are they intended to represent in any way to be part of their certification process. They are only publications links IVFCPD has made in relation to its own activities and considered there is some similarities to the ESHRE curriculum. IVFCPD accepts no responsibility for how these links are used. Good luck.
A link to the ESHRE curriculum can be found at Certification for clinical embryologists
