Learning Objectives
In this course, we talk with Dr. Mark Trolice, Reproductive Endocrinologist and Director of The IVF Center in Orlando and Professor of Obstetrics & Gynecology at the University of Central Florida College of Medicine, and Corey Burke, an embryologist and Tissue Bank Director at Cryos International-USA.

Participants will be able to:
- Describe the IVF process.
- Compare the challenges between freezing eggs vs freezing embryos.
- List 2 factors that influence whether a reproductive endocrinologist will recommend that a patient do a fresh embryo transfer.
- Explain how genetic testing affects whether embryos will be frozen or transferred fresh.
