Introduction: The well being of clinical embryologists remains a largely neglected aspect in the field of reproductivemedicine, despite their critical role in the success ofmedically assisted reproduction (MAR) procedures. Embryologists manage complex tasks that require high precision and involve significant responsibilities, ranging from manual laboratory procedures to quality control and patient communication. This study aimed to investigate the perceptions of clinical embryologists regarding their occupational well being and to examine their subjective experiences within MAR centers.
