Course description
This intensive course, developed by the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR), offers a comprehensive exploration of key topics in stem cell medicine. Designed for clinicians, medical students, and health care professionals, the curriculum is structured into seven modules providing an overview of the field, from basic stem cell biology and clinical trials to ethical considerations surrounding unproven stem cell interventions and patient communication.
Through expert-led lectures, this course equips health care providers with the knowledge needed to guide patients toward informed, evidence-based decisions while protecting them from unsafe and unproven treatments. It promotes responsible practices and aims to ensure that clinicians are well-prepared to navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by stem cell medicine, ultimately prioritizing patient health and safety.
