Advanced Course in Clinical Embryology

This week at the Advanced Course in Clinical Embryology, we continue our journey through Module 10: Research Methodology and Evidence-Based Medicine, strengthening the knowledge and critical thinking skills that underpin scientific discovery and evidence-based practice in reproductive medicine.

We are delighted to welcome Dr. Palermos, whose lecture, "Basic Statistical Principles for Practicing Physicians and Embryologists," will introduce participants to the fundamental statistical concepts needed to critically evaluate scientific literature and interpret research findings.

Next up, we are honoured to welcome back Professor Kimball O. Pomeroy, Chief Science Officer at Ivy Fertility and a distinguished leader in clinical embryology research. In his thought-provoking lecture, "Lying with Statistics" Professor Pomeroy will explore how statistical data can be misunderstood, misrepresented, or misinterpreted, equipping participants with the tools to recognise bias, challenge assumptions, and critically appraise scientific evidence.

Together, these lectures remind us that producing high-quality research is only part of the scientific journey. Equally important is the ability to interpret data with accuracy, recognise its limitations, and apply evidence responsibly.
