In Vitro Fertilization

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a cornerstone of assisted reproductive technology as its most common method that has transformed the management of infertility and expanded options for family building. Since its first success in 1978, IVF has evolved into a widely utilized, evidence-based intervention accounting for a growing proportion of births in the United States. This course reviews this procedure that involves controlled ovarian stimulation, oocyte retrieval, laboratory fertilization, and embryo transfer, with applications extending to preimplantation genetic testing and fertility preservation. This activity outlines the underlying reproductive anatomy and physiology, indications across diverse infertility etiologies, and key procedural steps, while addressing risks such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and multiple gestation. Participants will gain an understanding of candidates for IVF, individualized treatment protocols, complications, and current guidelines. This activity for healthcare professionals is designed to enhance the learner’s competence in applying IVF techniques, evaluating indications and contraindications for the procedure, and implementing an appropriate interprofessional approach when caring for patients undergoing IVF to optimize patient outcomes through safe, effective, and patient-centered reproductive care.
