OVERVIEW:

ISSCA has recognized the need for knowledge on stem cells among physicians and healthcare professionals, thus creating the International Stem Cell Therapy and Tissue Engineering  Fellowship program.

Stem cell therapies involve the potential replacement of cells or organs that are diseased, injured, inflamed, ailing or aged.

In this modular training program, a group of experienced academicians, involved in stem cell transplantation, present a series of topics to cover the general principles and practice of stem cell biology and evidence-based treatments for physicians to optimize the health of their patients.

COURSE DETAILS AND OBJECTIVES:

  • Detailed program offering hands-on experience in stem cell characterization and laboratory applications.
  • Learn cell culture techniques, including plating, trypsinization, harvesting, and cryopreservation
  • Understand and apply quality control tests, including cell count, viability, flow cytometry, endotoxin, mycoplasma, and sterility.
  • Perform cGMP functions, including cleanroom maintenance, gowning, and environmental monitoring.
  • Gain insight intorelevant applications of stem cell processing and regulations in a certified facility.
  • Attendees will be equipped with the tools necessary to implement regulatory and clinical guidelines when setting up a GMP facility.
  • Copies of presentations, procedural protocols, and all forms associated with a GMP facility will be provided.
  • Perform clinical procedures, including lipoaspirate and bone marrow isolation.
  • Learn to reintroduce stem cells for various indications.
  • Casebooks and full protocols for approximately 30 indications will be provided.

FAQ

The Fellowship is a one-week educational course focused on laboratory applications of regenerative medicine techniques that can be translated to a point-of-care environment. The program is effective, efficient, and compliant with the highest medical standards in the world.

The course covers all the essential information and hands-on training needed to safely perform validated stem cell procedures.

You will learn our certified method for harvesting and isolating stem cells from autologous sources such as fat and bone marrow, as well as cell lines derived from perinatal tissue. You will learn how to manipulate these cells for therapeutic use under the direct supervision of our experienced and skilled instructors.

During the training, you will participate in 5-7 live patient cases, typically 2-3 patients receiving different types of cells, and will become proficient in different protocols.

You do not have to be a physician to attend any of our training courses.

All  medical professionals are welcome.

During the in-person stem cell training course, you will participate in 3-5 live patient cases, typically involving 2-3 patients receiving adipose-derived stem cell therapy (ADSCs) and 1-2 patients receiving bone marrow-derived stem cell therapy (BMDSCs).

We will also provide training on isolating Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). 

The number of patients receiving PRP will depend on their conditions and the required delivery methods.

The training is provided by our experienced and highly qualified instructors.

You can view their photos and bios on our website by clicking on the “Advisory Board ” tab.

We are always adding qualified professionals to our team, along with new courses and new protocols to ensure that you have the best and most up-to-date training experience.

No, hotel lodging and transportation is not included, but we can help with finding lodging if that is your preference.

All you have to do is contact us.

For the in-person stem cell training course, we can assist you in choosing a comfortable, traveler-friendly hotel where you can make reservations.

You are then responsible for arriving at the training location at the specified time.

You will receive a certificate of completion from Global Stem Cells Group, endorsed by several international universities.

In addition, we are CME accredited.

We are continuously working to create additional training courses and researching new protocols to expand the educational scope and clinical applications for regenerative medicine.

We offer on-site training and host free, monthly educational webinars and symposiums  on all topics related to regenerative medicine.

On-site Training Course is a personalized hands-on training where one of our stem cell specialists provides participants with one-on-one training at your clinic.

During this course, one of our experienced and skilled trainers will assist you in treating a few patients with our regenerative medicine therapies.

We also provide Live & Recorded Webinars covering all topics in regenerative medicine.

All of our courses and our supporting materials are provided in English and/or Spanish.

In order to incorporate regenerative medicine into your practice after you have completed one of our training courses, you will need several pieces of equipment.

You can order them online by visiting www.adimarket.net

In order to schedule an on-site training at your clinic you will need to have already completed either the in-person or online stem cell training course.

Once you have completed either course, please contact our training customer service line at 305-560-5337.

If for any reason you register for one of our in-person training courses but are unable to attend, we will extend full credit toward another in-person training course at a later date.

The training course fees are non-refundable.

Yes, our first priority is to provide interested medical professionals with the capability to perform stem cell-derived treatments in their own practice.

We assure you that we will provide you with the necessary tools, methods, and practice to fully perform the procedures in your clinic. Stem cell treatments, under the practice of medicine, are allowed and utilize materials produced according to Good Manufacturing Practices (or cGMP) set forth by the FDA.

Our procedures do not infringe upon any established regulations.

However, what we cannot guarantee is whether the procedure complies with the respective medical regulatory agencies in your particular country of practice.

We highly recommend that you check with your regulatory entities to review their stance on stem cell treatments.
