What is Medical Embryology?

Medical embryology studies development from fertilisation through the formation of organs, and the causes of congenital conditions. It overlaps with anatomy, genetics and reproductive medicine, and it feeds both teaching and research.

It is different from clinical embryology, which is the laboratory practice of handling gametes and embryos in fertility treatment. If you want the IVF laboratory route, see the M.Sc. Clinical Embryology page.

Choose a partner university tied up with Apollo Healthcare Academy (see our partner universities), train at a nearby Apollo hospital or one of our partner hospitals, and get hands-on experience, career guidance and job and placement support from AHA. Your partner university awards the degree.
