Benefits from our study program

  • For working professionals: Students will acquire the ability to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired during lessons in practice-focused and cadaver lab sessions, with an emphasis on PRP, stem cells, and extracellular vesicles used in the musculoskeletal system from a clinical and pre-clinical standpoint
  • Research-led: Students will acquire understanding of the clinical and pre-clinical research evidence connected to the surgical techniques used in regenerative medicine, including "stem cells" both from bone marrow and adipose tissue and new biomaterials for cartilage, osteochondral, and bone restoration.
  • Future-oriented: Students will acquire understanding of ultrasound-guided injections, physical-biological therapies such as shock waves and magnetotherapy and fundamentals governing the use of artificial intelligence in regenerative medicine.
