Interventional study. Clinics. None; subjects were reproductive endocrinology nurses. Preintervention knowledge self-efficacy test, educational exposure, and 2-week follow-up testing. Knowledge test scores, self-efficacy scores. Nurses, regardless of educational attainment, demonstrated statistically significant increases in knowledge of both embryology and genetics, which was retained at least 2weeks after the educational intervention.
