Overview

This course, designed for postgraduate study, aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the Reproductive system of both males and females. This course is a prerequisite for the proposed Program 9014- Masters of Women's Health Medicine. The focus of this course is on the practical application of reproductive anatomy and physiology to common clinical situations. It is likely to be most relevant to those working primarily in a reproductive health setting-in particular gynaecologists in training, sexual health physicians, primary care physicians and family planning practitioners as well as nurses, counselors and scientists with a special interest in this field.

The Course will cover 6 topics:

Signals and Targets-hormones, receptors and end-organs
The Menstrual Cycle
Fertility, pregnancy and sexual differentiation
Puberty and Reproductive ageing
The male reproductive organs and spermatogenesis
Sexual Function and Dysfunction

This Course is delivered entirely online. An online assessment (by Multiple Choice Questionnaire) completed at the end of each module contributes to the overall assessment. The remainder of the assessment will be determined by essay/s related to the topics covered during the Course.
