Pre-Conference Workshops
Two specialised hands-on workshops · Limited seats · First-come, first-served
Choose Your Workshop
ISHA 2027 opens with a full day of intensive, hands-on workshops on 4 February 2027 at AIIMS Jodhpur. Both workshops run in parallel from 09:00 to 18:00, so each delegate may register for only one. Conference registration is separate — workshop attendees may also attend the main scientific sessions on 5–7 February.
Semen Analysis for Andrology
A practical, microscope-driven workshop covering WHO-compliant semen analysis protocols, morphology assessment, computer-assisted analysis (CASA), and laboratory quality control. Designed for andrologists, embryologists, reproductive medicine specialists, and PG students in reproductive medicine.
What you will cover
- WHO 2021 guidelines for semen analysis — standards and updates
- Sample collection, handling, and pre-analytical quality control
- Macroscopic and microscopic evaluation: concentration, motility, viability
- Morphology assessment (strict Kruger criteria) with hands-on slides
- Computer-Assisted Semen Analysis (CASA) — principles, calibration, interpretation
- Internal QC and external proficiency testing protocols
- Common reporting pitfalls and clinical correlations
- Case-based discussions and Q&A with faculty
Bone Retrieval Workshop
Hands-on training in cadaveric bone retrieval techniques, defleshing protocols, skeletal articulation, and long-term preservation methods for teaching collections and anatomy museums. Designed for anatomy faculty, technical staff, and PG students responsible for departmental specimen libraries.
What you will cover
- Ethical and procedural framework for bone retrieval from donor cadavers
- Defleshing methods — maceration, enzymatic, and chemical techniques
- Degreasing, bleaching, and whitening protocols for teaching-grade specimens
- Articulation techniques — wiring, drilling, and skeletal mounting
- Disarticulated specimen storage and labelling for teaching collections
- Specimen documentation, cataloguing, and digital archiving
- Long-term preservation in tropical climates — humidity, pest, and degradation control
- Live demonstrations and hands-on practice on prepared specimens
