Graduate Diploma in Reproductive Sciences

This course is offered by the Education Program in Reproduction and Development (EPRD), in the Monash Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology with significant input from the Ritchie Centre for Baby Health Research and other centres in the Hudson Institute of Medical Research and Monash IVF. Other Monash departments that participate in the course include anatomy and developmental biology, paediatrics, physiology, pharmacology and the School of Philosophical, Historical and International Studies. The program is also supported by Melbourne IVF, Family Planning Victoria, the Victorian Assisted Reproductive Treatment Authority, the University of Melbourne, Zoos Victoria, Genetics Australia, and Melbourne Aquarium. The primary aim of the EPRD is to foster education and research into reproductive biology and medicine.

The course provides a broad theoretical understanding of, and practical training in, the applications of reproductive biology to current clinical human and veterinary medicine, assisted reproduction and conservation, and consideration of the social and ethical issues raised by the use of these techniques. The course also provides the opportunity for those currently interested in reproductive sciences to update their knowledge and experience research by participating in a minor research project.
