Information on QA Scheme: Human Sperm Morphology - 2008
Comment = The scheme provides two functions. The first portrays images of individual spermatozoa to explore your interpretation of their morphology [head, midpeice, etc]. Other images that contain more than 1 spermatozoa are designed to assess which sperm you consider normal. The second function is quality assurance where a series of images from an individual stained preparation are exhibited. Participants estimate the % normal forms that are submitted for statistical review. The educational function is desgined to compliment the QA function to allow feedback and continuous improvement. You can compare your interpretation of what is normal both within your own group (if you have established an INTERNAL QAP group) as well as against other professionals working in Andrology. The benchmark standard for this scheme is the WHO manual (4th edition). Please use the FEEDBACK option available when all questions are completed to provide additional material. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
