What will I learn in this course?
Assisted Reproduction techniques have been in increasing demand, contributing to 3.2 per cent of births in Portugal in 2017 (CNPMA, 2017). The growth trend is expected to continue in the coming years. Medical and technological advances in this area mean that professionals with technical and scientific skills, particularly in embryology, need to be trained to work in PMA centres. To date, there has been no training at this level in Portugal. This master's programme will respond to the growing demand for training in this area, while at the same time raising the scientific and practical level of these professionals.
