A fertility nurse is part of an interdisciplinary team that supports treatment of people experiencing difficulties with conception and reproductive disorders. Reproductive health is a demanding field, and a Registered Nurse wishing to pursue a career in this practice area requires knowledge in multiple facets of care. This six-part series of interactive modules covers the topics of (1) female factor infertility; (2) male factor infertility; (3) enhancing fertility; (4) third-party reproduction; (5) embryology; and (6) genetics and assisted reproductive technology (ART). The curriculum aims to produce an Australian-first academic course that supports Australian Registered Nurses transitioning into the practice of fertility treatment.
