Infertility: Psychological Impacts and Treatment Approaches
Learn to support infertility patients through treatment decisions and psychological challenges. This course equips providers with strategies to address individual, couple, and family dynamics in infertility care.
About this course
It is estimated that 1 in every 6 couples of childbearing age experience some form of compromised fertility or medically diagnosable infertility. Whether or not to pursue infertility treatment and undergo assisted reproduction constitutes a major life decision for patients, decisions that are often accompanied by stressful medical procedures and psychological sequelae no matter what the outcome. The information in this course serves as a resource for mental health professionals and allied healthcare providers who work with infertile patients and highlights the need for a broad approach that encompasses the concerns of the individual, as well as the couple as a dyad and the family as a unit. The course discusses and addresses issues that present in the care of infertility patients. Broad theoretical models within Health Psychology and empirically-based infertility-specific data guide the course content.

Real reviews, real results
I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.
Verified reviewVery well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
Verified reviewI appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.
Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
Verified reviewI am always looking for concise ,thorough, and up to date continuing education, and this course provided exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
