Introduction:

Do you know why a child’s first babysitter is an embryologist? A scientific field called embryology studies the conception, growth, and development of an embryo. It is the cornerstone for comprehending the close relationship between structures in various organ systems, such as the neurological system and muscles, and is fundamental for comprehending developmental problems that in people may manifest as congenital myopathy. Embryology was based on descriptive and comparative investigations in the 18th century.

In terms of its database, the science of embryology is undergoing an era of unmatched transformation. It is currently finding a place in a medical curriculum that is becoming more and more congested. To understand how our bodies developed, embryology is studied primarily for academic purposes. This can be seen as knowledge acquisition for knowledge’s sake, similar to the majority of basic science disciplines, however, there are really a number of reasons why this knowledge is crucial.

How can I become an Embryologist?

You need a bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline, such as biology, human physiology, medical biology, or life science, to begin a career in embryology. These will serve as your starting point for a career in this area.

This should be followed by a post-graduation qualification in any of the three:

  • Assisted Reproductive Technology
  • Embryology
  • Biotechnology

Additionally, the post-graduate degree should be complemented by the one to two years of instructive, theoretical, and practical embryology course needed to become a licenced embryologist.

Career in Embryology

  • Embryologists can work in ART clinics in both government and private hospitals.
  • IVF industries and research organizations with embryo culture media and laboratory consumables- Innovative ideas to work as a scientist
  • Institutes offering certificate courses in embryology offer embryologists with merit to work as scientists.

Although the study of embryology is a relatively new science, the medical curriculum has not yet given it a place where it feels at home. With more knowledge of how developmental processes work and the quick pace of technological innovation in the field, embryology is playing a bigger role in medical education.
