Module I - Peptide Therapy Certification

join the leaders in advanced anti-aging medicine

Peptide therapies are increasingly playing a significant role in disease state management, performance health and anti-aging strategies. In clinical practices across the globe, peptide therapies are being used to care for cancer, infectious diseases, metabolic disorders, injuries, aesthetic medicine and much more.

The Peptide Therapy Certification program presented in 2 modules, highlights this most relevant and applicable therapy in medicine. Participants can expect to gain extensive knowledge in legal considerations, strength of evidence and clinical applications to utilize on Monday morning.

Featuring world-class clinicians and researchers, the modules will allow you to further your knowledge in the emerging field of peptides and regenerative medicine and adopting this modality into your clinical practices.

International Peptide Society Membership required for certification. Please learn more here or talk with your A4M Educational Advisor.
