ESHRE-CPD credit system
ESHRE Continuing Professional Development (ESHRE-CPD) credits
The Embryology Certification Committee is proud to present the new ESHRE-Continuing Professional Development (ESHRE-CPD) platform.
The aim of the ESHRE-CPD platform is to encourage ESHRE Certified Senior and Clinical Embryologists to stay updated on the field of embryology and assisted conception, and record their CPD activities.
All names of ESHRE certified embryologists will be included in a list per country on the ESHRE website. Those who are considered CPD-active (by obtaining the yearly CPD-certificate) will be mentioned at the top of their country’s list of ESHRE certified embryologists.
How does it work?
CPD participants have to collect at least 60 credits (clinical embryologists) or 100 credits (senior embryologists) over a period of 3 years (currently 2022-2024). Furthermore, in order to obtain a CPD certificate, participants must also submit a CPD clinic activity record of their lab activities from the past (2024) year, which shows involvement in at least one of following categories/procedures: Embryology, Andrology, Cryo, PGT, Lab and/or quality management. The clinic activity record will become available in the last quarter of the year. Uploaded documents will be checked for auditing purposes.
The list of CPD activities is divided into 3 main categories: Educational (learning), Professional and Scientific:
1. Educational (learning) activities
Attendance to meetings
2. Professional involvement
3. Scientific activities
Contribution to ESHRE scientific meetings/courses
Credits for attendance to ESHRE events (Campus workshops and Annual meetings) will be added automatically. Participants will have to personally upload evidence of any other CPD activities from 2022, 2023 and 2024 by 28 February 2025 in order to count towards their 2025 CPD certificate.
Participants with sufficient credits and a valid clinic activity record for 2024 can download their 2025 CPD certificate from 1 April 2025 onwards.
For example, if a certified clinical embryologist has collected 60 credits from 2022 and 2023 ESHRE events, he/she will not be able to download the 2025 CPD certificate unless his/her 2024 clinic activity record is added before 28 February 2025.
Any CPD activities added after 28 February 2025 will be taken into account for the 2023-2025 period and for the certificate that will be released in 2026.
For those who obtained their certificate in 2022, 2023 or 2024 the active period will not contain 3 full years. Only the credits for activities occurring after the certificate date will be counted.
