Please remember that if you become certified as an Embryologist (EMB), you will be entitled to accredit any Embryology Facility by virtue of submitting anaffidavit with ACE.

Given high standards established by ACE for EMB certification and the small number of EMB certified so far, this accreditation is very prestigious, highly sought after and can help your program in its marketing efforts.

Furthermore, for a limited time, as a board certified Embryologist, you are entitled to one year of free accreditation for one Embryology Facility of your choice. This will save that facility a $350 annual accreditation fee.
 
In order to receive the benefit of this promotion, you must submit an onlineaffidavit by January 15th, 2011.
