The Mobile Learning Unit, from the University of Melbourne, have developed a course on Genetics in Pregnancy which is developed as a joint initiative between the Mobile Learning Unit, Melbourne Medical School, Mercy Perinatal, Mercy Hospital for Women, Monash IVF Group, and the Murdoch Children's Research Institute Reproductive Epidemiology Group.

Maternal health and wellbeing from pre-conception to pregnancy, including the first 1000 days, is critical to long-term outcomes.
