Training activity information

Details

Perform and record morphological embryo grading at both the cleavage and blastocyst stages

Type

Entrustable training activity (ETA)

Evidence requirements

Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee repeatedly, consistently, and effectively over time, in a range of situations. This may include occasions where the trainee has not successfully achieved the outcome of the activity themselves. For example, because it was not appropriate to undertake the task in the circumstances or the trainees recognised their own limitations and sought help or advice to ensure the activity reached an appropriate conclusion. ​

Considerations

Considerations are suggestions about what may be useful for the trainee to think about while undertaking a training activity. They should not be considered as a mandatory checklist. Trainees should not be expected to demonstrate or provide evidence for each of the considerations listed.

  • The effect of embryo quality on cycle outcome
  • Internal and external quality assurance
  • National grading scheme
  • Benefits and limitations of embryo morphology grading systems
