Learning objectives

Embryo fragmentation is a common feature in IVF embryo assessment, yet its interpretation remains variable. This webinar will provide a concise, evidence-based overview to support more consistent interpretation and understanding. Participants will have the opportunity to, gain an updated understanding of embryo fragmentation and build confidence in interpreting fragmentation during embryo assessment.

Course description

Embryo fragmentation is a common finding in IVF, yet its biological origins and clinical significance remain unclear. This webinar will review current evidence, explore underlying mechanisms, and help embryologists better interpret fragmentation in the context of modern embryo assessment and selection.

Target audience

Embryologists, ART technicians, researchers, clinicians and other personnel involved in reproductive medicine and ART

Needs assessment

Embryo fragmentation is a common, visible, yet still poorly understood phenomenon in IVF practice, with direct implications for embryo selection and clinical decision-making. Fragmentation influences embryo grading, discard decisions, and transfer strategies, often without strong or consistent evidence to guide interpretation. The objective of this webinar is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the concept of embryonic fragmentation and the underlying mechanisms involved, with the aim of enhancing the competencies of embryologists in this domain and thereby contributing to the quality of their clinical practice.

Expected educational outcomes

By the end of this webinar, participants will have a better understanding of the mechanisms behind fragmentation. E them to interpret it more effectively and support their clinical decision-making.
