join the leaders in advanced anti-aging medicine

Join us for Module II of the Peptides Certification Course which expands upon the emerging role of peptides in aesthetics and regenerative medicine protocols. This module will cover peptides in disease state management, senolytics and tools to extend health span, performance health, aesthetics, and anti-aging strategies. Participants will learn the application of and undergo hands-on training for a variety of procedures for peptide and regenerative therapies. Furthermore, the module will examine the evolving role of regenerative medicine and future gene therapies.

Participants can expect to gain extensive knowledge in strength of evidence and clinical applications and hands on demonstrations of various procedures to utilize on Monday morning.

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

A4M or International Peptides Society Membership is required for certification. Completion of Peptide Modules I & II are also required for certification. Please learn more here or talk with your A4M Educational Advisor.
