Course description
In this workshop we will discuss different benign conditions which may require fertility preservation. We will learn about the nature of these diseases and their treatment and whether fertility preservation is indicated or not. Other non-medical indications such as transgenders and certain genetic conditions and the questions raised in these groups will also be discussed. We will hear about the challenges as seen from the lab and address the ethics of fertility preservation.
Target audience
Doctors and nurses interested in fertility preservation, clinical and laboratory scientists
