Description
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
All course materials are accessible

Course Aims
reproductive system of both males and females. The focus of this course is on the
practical application of reproductive anatomy and physiology to clinical situations
using examples and case studies commonly encountered in practice.
Learning Outcomes
- Identify and explain both normal and pathological processes of the male and female systems reproductive
- Describe the interrelationships between various hormonal systems ( both male and female) and their effect on reproduction
- Apply their knowledge and understanding of human reproductive physiology to situations likely to be encountered in clinical practice
- Apply their knowledge and understanding of the anatomy of both male and female reproductive organs to situations likely to be encountered in clinical practice
- Identify the challenges facing those working in the field of reproductive health in the 21st century and develop strategies to meet those challenges
- Translate the more complex issues encountered in reproductive health into terms more easily understood by patients, their partners and carers
