WEST provides an international training program for the next generation of clinical embryologists. If you have a BS degree in any life science, you would qualify to be trained to become an embryologist.

WEST is providing a desperately needed service in the field of embryology. We are recruiting recent graduates with a BS in any life science to become fully trained embryologists. The demand for trained embryologists is high and the supply is low. Currently, the trend is that a large number of lab directors and senior embryologists will be retiring in the coming years leaving the demand even higher. This adds to the rising number of labs already short staffed with nowhere to find trained embryologists. Labs are being forced to hire untrained embryologists and attempt to train in-house without the skills or time to do so.

WEST offers the only program in the US where a recent college graduate can, upon completion of the 3-month course, become a fully trained embryologist from the ground up. The extensive hours in the laboratory and breadth of knowledge offered to WEST participants prepares them to walk into any laboratory and perform all tasks at a fully functioning level.

WEST also offers 1 -2-week intensive training courses for an embryologist with basic training. The WEST goal is to be to provide extensive hands-on time as well as full knowledge in the science behind the work so participants are not simply bench technicians, rather, highly knowledgeable and intelligent scientists.

WEST will set you up for success and can match you with a laboratory for employment. As an embryologist for 25 years, Debbie Venier’s extensive training skills and reputation are well-known. Debbie developed the Cal Poly training program and successfully trained over 37 clinical embryologists in the 10 years she taught applied embryology. She has been invited by many different companies, societies, and embryology groups to speak and train embryologists both in the US and all over the world. Her network in the field is wide and many laboratories seeking another embryologist turn to Debbie for employees.

Debbie will work with all participants to ensure they are employed in a laboratory that fits their abilities and sets them up for a successful career in Embryology.
