Mayo Clinic Course Addresses Education Gap: Building the Regenerative Medicine Workforce

By Jen Schutz Jen Schutz (@jenniferschutz)

Regenerative medicine is redefining clinical care—going beyond disease symptom management to addressing the underlying cause of disease to restore health. Regenerative care is expected to represent 10% of all health care in the next decade. Yet, education in regenerative medicine lags behind scientific and clinical advances. This threatens to leave physicians-in-training ill-equipped to address changing […]
