The use of stem cells is a natural progression in integrative medicine. Through the use of stem cell therapy, regenerative medicine is a revolutionary approach to restore, rejuvenate, and regenerate cells, tissue, or organs that are diseased or injured. The second module of the Fellowship in Stem Cell Therapies will provide a detailed foundation of the best practices needed to successfully incorporate cellular therapies into a clinical or research setting. This module will review the safety, efficacy, and validation of all current autologous stem cell harvesting and isolation techniques. The concepts of cell culture and expansion, isolation, cell banking, cryopreservation, and cell validation strategies will be explored. Current compliance and regulatory practices, guidelines, and statutes regarding cellular products and procedures will be presented by thought leaders in the field of regenerative medicine

Objectives:
