IUI Provider Masterclass: Understanding Sperm Banks & Sperm Samples

  • ZOOM United States (map)

Sperm banks can be confusing—even for experienced IUI providers. In this first session of the IUI Provider Masterclass Series, we’ll demystify how sperm banks operate and how to confidently support your clients through the process.

We’ll cover:

  • The history and structure of the sperm bank industry

  • How donor samples are selected, processed, and stored

  • Common challenges with frozen samples (thawing, motility, vial types)

  • Ethical considerations, including anonymous donation

  • Navigating client concerns with banked donor sperm

The class includes a live Q&A and optional peer consultation on IUI care.

This class will run LIVE on Thursday, October 23rd from 6-7:30pm EST, and replay will be available through December 2025.

“Nine years into providing IUI care, I still couldn’t find a single continuing ed course for midwives like myself. So I stopped searching—and created the class we need.” - Ray Rachlin
