This course provides a theoretical understanding and some practical training in the applications of reproductive biology to clinical human and veterinary medicine, and wildlife biology and conservation. The social and ethical issues raised by the use of these techniques are also covered. It is offered by the Education Program in Reproductive Biology, a joint venture of the Monash Institute of Medical Research and Prince Henry's Institute in association with the Monash departments of Physiology, Pharmacology, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and Anatomy and Cell Biology. The course is suitable for students who have a medical degree, veterinary science degree, Bachelor of Science degree (with honours) or equivalent professional experience in embryology or reproductive biology. Core studies cover reproductive endocrinology, gonadal development and function, pregnancy and parturition, reproductive health, fertility regulation, comparative animal reproductive sciences, assisted reproductive and genetic technologies, and human reproductive health. On completion of the course, graduates may apply to continue on to the Master of Reproductive Sciences. They may also seek employment in areas such as reproductive research programs, clinical and basic laboratory activities, the pharmaceuticals industry, animal breeding improvement programs, and assisted reproductive technologies.
This depends on each student's area of research in the field of reproduction: reproductive research programs, reproductive biology, health; zoology; clinical and basic laboratory activities, animal breeding improvement programs, assisted reproductive technologies (ART) and in vitro fertilisation (IVF), wildlife rproductive biology and conservation.
