You will learn with the best teaching team possible
Experts in maternal-fetal medicine, internationally renowned pioneers with extensive experience in invasive procedures and fetal therapy, and opinion leaders in their field
This is an intensive 4-day course designed to provide participants with not only theoretical knowledge and essential professional attitudes but, above all, the technical skills required to perform invasive procedures in maternal-fetal medicine.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
This will be achieved through focused theoretical sessions on clinically relevant aspects and intensive hands-on practice in a realistic simulation environment, under the mentorship of Fetal Medicine Barcelona experts. The course guarantees a practical and transformative learning experience.
The course is designed for small practice groups of 4-5 participants, with a maximum of 16 attendees. The sessions will be divided into 4 modules:
Simulation:
Amniocentesis I. Transabdominal chorionic villus sampling. Transvaginal chorionic villus sampling
Simulation:
Amniocentesis II. Amniorreduction. Cervical ectopic pregnancy
Simulation:
Fetal anesthesia. Fetal punctures. Cordocentesis and intrauterine transfusion
