In parallel with WHO guidance urging countries to strengthen fertility services, IVF Academy USA delivers a proven, scalable pipeline to support patients and clinics nationwide.

IVF Academy USA, the rapidly growing training institution for embryologists and fertility laboratory professionals, today announced major momentum across its Laboratory School and specialty programs as the fertility industry faces unprecedented demand. Under the leadership of Founder and Laboratory School Dean Dr. Anthony Anderson, D.H.Sc., ELD (ABB), a nationally recognized embryology laboratory director with more than 35 years of experience, IVF Academy is emerging as the premier pipeline for staffing IVF laboratories across the United States.

“I founded IVF Academy USA because it was clear the industry was facing a long-standing workforce shortage,” said Dr. Anderson. “The U.S. does not have enough embryologists to keep pace with current or future demand. As Gen Y and Gen Z surpass the Baby Boomers who fueled the first IVF wave, we’re witnessing a steady rise in fertility preservation, genetic testing and treatment needs.”

IVF Academy USA reflects more than a decade of development, beginning with laboratory training and expanding into clinical, nursing and future business education to support the full IVF care ecosystem.

A data-backed training model with peer-reviewed results

IVF Academy USA’s approach is grounded in laboratory excellence and scientific validation. The two-month Embryologist Certificate Program provides comprehensive, hands-on training in the core techniques of modern clinical embryology, allowing students to reach performance benchmarks comparable to seasoned embryologists after their first 100 eggs, including fertilization, blastocyst development, and high-quality blastocyst formation.

Separately, for experienced embryologists seeking advanced skill development, IVF Academy offers short, intensive courses in specialized techniques. Embryologists who completed the IVF Academy’s two-day or five-day course achieved fertilization and blastocyst development outcomes comparable to a senior embryologist (75% vs. 77% fertilization; 59% vs. 52% blastocysts), validating the effectiveness of the Academy’s rapid-training model for upskilling current professionals.

This outcomes-based model is central to IVF Academy’s mission. Every student is trained using the same microsurgical and laboratory protocols that Dr. Anderson implemented during his tenure at leading fertility networks. For many years, people entered embryology through informal, on-the-job training, and most of the field grew that way. IVF Academy replaces the inconsistent pathways with a clear, accessible route into the field. The two-month Embryologist Certificate program offered by the Laboratory School gives students direct, hands-on experience with the core techniques of modern clinical embryology.

In addition to laboratory training, students have opportunities to contribute to clinical research projects, co-author scientific abstracts and participate in presentations at leading industry conferences, including the Pacific Coast Reproductive Society (PCRS) Annual Meeting beginning March 18, 2026. These experiences help students develop critical research, analytical and scientific communication skills.

100% of students who have completed the two-month program remain in the IVF field five years later, a remarkable retention outcome in a historically high-stress profession where early career burnout is common. Lab graduates have been hired by premier fertility clinics across the country, including NYU Langone, CCRM, Ovation, Shady Grove, Inception, Pozitivf and Apsire, supporting patient care in high-volume clinical settings.

A global call for expanded, equitable fertility care

This long-term workforce stability comes at a pivotal moment for global reproductive health. In its first-ever global infertility guideline released this year, the World Health Organization (WHO) called on countries to make fertility care “safer, fairer and more affordable for all.” The WHO emphasized that access to treatments like IVF remains severely limited.

As demand for IVF surges globally, and as policy and clinical bodies call for more accessible, science-driven reproductive care, the need for a highly trained, sustainable embryology workforce has never been more urgent. IVF Academy USA’s training model, rooted in validated outcomes and hands-on laboratory excellence, aligns directly with WHO’s call for expanded, high-quality fertility services built on safety, equity and scientific rigor.
