Fellowship in Reproductive Medicine and Gynaecological Endoscopy

The Fellowship in Reproductive Medicine and Gynaecological Endoscopy is a fellowship that is designed for gynecologists and related professionals and it combines advanced reproductive health techniques with endoscopic surgical skills. It covers infertility diagnosis, assisted reproductive technologies (like IVF and ICSI), and reproductive surgery, while also focusing on endoscopic procedures such as laparoscopy and hysteroscopy for fertility enhancement. Graduates provide specialized care in fertility clinics and surgery settings, addressing complex reproductive challenges.

This fellowship is a post-specialization course that focuses on two major components: reproductive medicine and endoscopy. Additionally, reproductive medicine includes studying and treating infertility, using techniques like in-vitro fertilization (IVF), intrauterine insemination (IUI), and hormone therapies. The endoscopic part of the course teaches doctors how to use minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopy and hysteroscopy to diagnose and treat problems affecting a woman’s reproductive organs.

To enroll in the Fellowship in Reproductive Medicine and Gynaecological Endoscopy, candidates must have a postgraduate degree such as MD, MS, or DNB in Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
