The Andrologist

Here at the ABA we have decided to re-name our Newsletter "The Andrologist". We are able to announce the date of the 2012 AGM, the first of a series of articles about implementing the new WHO manual looking at the issue of Semen volume estimation and your Journal Based Learning for Autumn 2011.

Membership Renewal Form

ABA members renewing their membership should download the Membership Renewal Form attached to this posting and send a completed copy along with their renewal payment. However, new members should download the application form located here and use this at the time of first joining.

Training in Laboratory Andrology

The Association of Biomedical Andrologists offers a range of logbook based training courses which are aimed at developing competency for individuals working in the andrology field. Training courses are only open to ABA members. Although each module stands alone we highly recommend that the majority of individuals complete the module in Diagnostic Semen Analysis before moving on to other modules.

Applicants can enroll in each logbook at any time of the year. Each module has an expected period of time for completion and a viva will be arranged at the end of the training period.
