Continuing Medical Education

Since its establishment, IVF-Worldwide has been committed to advancing fertility treatment education. As technology progresses, so does the way we share educational and other information. IVF-Worldwide is in contact with over 65,000 experts in the field, including gynecologists and embryologists. It is our top priority to make sure that you are receiving the information you want in the way that is most convenient for you.

In order to continue to enhance and focus our activities, we have designed a survey aimed at identifying your educational needs. Your input will enable us to further develop and refine our educational applications to meet your needs, with the objective of helping promote outstanding treatment results.

Please reply to this short survey and help us in supporting your knowledge acquisition and academic activities. The contact information you provide is confidential and will not be shared. No outside organization will have access to this information.

Thank you for your valuable input.
