Centre for Reproductive Education & Specialist Training (CREST)
CREST is the first specialised training centre in Asia Pacific for Assisted Reproductive Techniques of its
kind, to enhance the skills of clinicians, embryologists, nurses and administrators from around the region.
Located at the National University Hospital, Singapore (NUH) and founded by Professor PC Wong, Head
of Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility, CREST offers a unique combination of theory and practical
hands-on learning opportunities within its purpose-built training site at NUH. Four state-of-the-art laboratories showcasing the latest equipment for effective ART procedures, together with a low student-teacher
ratio, both maximise and encourage learning and growth opportunities. The unique real life, real learning
approach will enable practitioners to immediately apply newly acquired skills.
