About The Course
Participants will explore how PRP is being studied and applied in musculoskeletal care, learning core concepts in platelet science, processing methods, and best practices in PRP injection training. The course emphasizes education and skill building, not treatment claims, so practitioners gain confidence in understanding PRP’s role in regenerative medicine.
The Introduction to PRP Training Course at our PRP Training Center is designed for healthcare professionals seeking a foundational understanding of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy within the context of musculoskeletal system injuries.
This beginner-level program provides essential knowledge and introductory hands-on experience in PRP preparation and injection techniques, focusing on procedural accuracy and patient safety.
The devices that prepare PRP are FDA cleared for use with bone graft material. Injecting PRP into joints, tendons and ligaments is an off-label use, and this course teaches it that way: the technique, the evidence and its limits.

How we teach it
Our Approach
At Regenerative Medicine Academy, our PRP Training Center combines foundational scientific education with hands-on learning to help participants build essential procedural skills. The course focuses on understanding the science, preparation, and responsible application of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) within the scope of musculoskeletal injury education.
Under the guidance of experienced instructors, participants engage in live demonstrations and supervised practice. This approach helps students develop both theoretical understanding and technical proficiency in PRP preparation and injection techniques, while maintaining compliance with current medical and regulatory standards.
The hands-on session
Our Hands-On Session
Basic Injection Practice and Diagnostic Ultrasound
Gain guided, hands-on experience in PRP injection techniques under instructor supervision.
Practice identifying key anatomical landmarks and using ultrasound to enhance accuracy and procedural confidence. How much you perform depends on your license, the state and the patient’s consent.
Live Demonstrations
Observe experienced instructors perform platelet-rich plasma preparation and injection steps, emphasizing proper technique, sterile handling, and safety protocols.
Learn through demonstration-based instruction designed for healthcare professionals new to PRP training.
Working alongside peers
Your session is private: you alone, or you and your own staff, with one instructor. Nobody watches from a seat. Every licensed person in the room performs, within their own scope, and unlicensed staff learn the workflow around the procedure.
When your team trains together, they learn the same setup, the same steps and the same patient conversation, so the procedure runs the same way back at your practice.
The judgement this course teaches
Single spin or double spin is not the question.
It's the first thing a provider asks about preparation. And it's a workflow question, not a clinical one. Ask two experienced clinicians and you'll hear opposite answers. Both can be right inside their own systems. What reaches the patient gets decided somewhere else entirely.
One spin or two. Whether the tube has a separator gel. Whose centrifuge is on the counter, and which rep supplied it.
The comparative literature splits both ways. And that's what you'd expect if the number of spins weren't the main variable. One study found a manual double spin captured platelets far better than an automated single step device. A randomized dermatology trial found the single spin protocol won. Both studies are real.
Total platelet dose. It's three numbers multiplied together, and only one of them is printed on the box.
What's a recovery rate? It's the share of the patient’s own platelets that a kit really captures into the final product. It varies a lot between commercial systems. And it's the one number a rep is least likely to volunteer.
Total platelets delivered. That's your baseline platelet count × the blood volume drawn × the kit’s recovery rate.
Let's say it's the same patient and the same 30 mL draw, run through two kits. One recovers 80 percent of the platelets. The other recovers 30 percent. They don't deliver the same product. And the spin count had nothing to do with the difference. So which of the three can you move in your own practice? Figure that out, and you have the whole decision.
We wrote the whole thing up on our blog, and it's free. Read PRP preparation, single spin, double spin, and what drives total platelet dose.

Training in a state where you are not licensed? Tell us when you request a date. We come to you: at your own practice, you train under the license you already hold there. You come to us: at an instructor’s location, what you do hands on depends on your licensure in that state, and we set the plan with you before you book, following industry best practices.
Your state board sets your scope of practice, not us. Confirm what your license allows before you book. The Federation of State Medical Boards keeps a current directory at fsmb.org. The FDA publishes its position on regenerative medicine therapies on its consumer information page.
Formats and pricing
Two ways to take it.

Included, every time
The training ends.
The access does not.
The day you go home is the day the questions start. Everything below is part of the course. We list it here so you can see it now, instead of finding out later.
Certificate of Completion
One per course. It says you attended and you performed. It's not CME, it's not accreditation, and it doesn't let you practice outside your own scope.
The deck you were taught from
Not a summary. The actual protocol, in front of you the first time you run the procedure with nobody standing there.
Sample consent forms
Teaching templates to take to your own attorney. They're not the operative document, and we won't pretend they are.
Our clinicians, on the phone
You're only getting started when you leave. So when a case doesn't look like the one you trained on, you call. Not a portal, not a ticket queue.
And a look at the practice around it
Knowing the procedure doesn't fill the schedule. So we review the branding, the marketing and the operations. We look at where your leads really come from. You keep what we find, whether you train with us or not. This is practical and operational only. It's not legal, tax, entity or licensing advice. Confirm your structure with your own attorney in your own state.
Common questions
What providers ask before they book.
What is covered in the Introduction to PRP course?
This course provides in-depth training on PRP science, patient assessment, anatomy, ultrasound-guided injections, and diagnosis. Students will learn to process PRP themselves and perform hands-on injections on real patients. How much you perform depends on your license, the state and the patient's consent. The course also includes templates, consent forms, patient flyers, and resources to help you integrate PRP into your practice successfully.
Who should consider enrolling in this introductory PRP course?
This course is designed for licensed healthcare professionals, including physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other qualified providers, subject to applicable state and clinical regulations.
Does this PRP course include hands-on training?
Yes. The course features hands-on PRP processing and ultrasound-guided injections performed on real patients, under instructor supervision. How much you perform depends on your license, the state and the patient's consent.
How long is the Introduction to PRP course?
Course length varies by discipline and by instructor. Students receive pre-course lectures and materials in advance to maximize time for hands-on learning and patient procedures during the in-person session.
Will I receive a certificate after completing this PRP course?
Yes. All participants receive a certificate of completion after the course.
Is this PRP training intended to replace medical licensure or board credentials?
No. This training is for educational purposes only and does not replace medical licensure, board credentials, or regulatory requirements.
Can I really learn this in a day or a weekend?
No. We won't tell you that one day of training teaches you everything. That's not possible, and you'd find out the hard way. What a course gets you is enough confidence to start on staff, family and friends. And it gets you access to our clinicians for everything after that.
Will patients in my market actually pay cash for this?
The constraint is almost never the price. It's the consultation. A five minute visit isn't enough to work out what a patient needs. And a patient who doesn't understand what they're weighing doesn't buy it. So part of what we cover is how to build that conversation: what belongs in it, and what has to be in the chart afterwards.
What insurance do I need, and am I covered while I am touching a patient?
You're responsible for your own coverage. We don't provide it, arrange it or extend ours to you. And we won't tell you that you're covered, because we can't verify that for your carrier in your state. What we will do is get on the phone with you and help you work out exactly what to ask them.
What do I need to bring?
A current, unrestricted license, and a willingness to be corrected. If you already have a centrifuge and a kit you use, bring them. That way you train on your own equipment. Don't have them yet? We supply them on the day. And we can walk you through the vendor network afterwards.
What does it cost, and can I cancel?
Private training at one of our instructor locations starts at $5,000. Private training inside your own practice starts at $10,000, and travel and lodging are inside that figure. Both are starting points. So what moves the real number? The discipline and the instructor. How many of your people are in the room. And how much of the course is built just for you.
In-person training is refundable up to 30 days before the session. A 10 percent fee covers processing and office costs. A reschedule carries the same 10 percent fee. Online and self-paced courses are not refundable once you buy them.

Education, not medical advice
Regen Med Academy provides education and training for licensed healthcare providers. Everything on this site is for educational purposes only. It is not medical advice, not a treatment recommendation, and not an offer to treat. Providers are responsible for practicing within the scope of their own license and their own state law.
Where a course can run
Courses are taught only in states where the modality is legal for the license you hold. State law in this field changes, sometimes more than once a year. Our reading of each state, with its sources and the date we checked, is on the rules by state page. It is a starting point, not legal advice. It is your responsibility to confirm the modality is legal in your state for your license. Do that before you book. The authority on your own scope is your licensing board, not us. State medical board contact details are published by the Federation of State Medical Boards.
Training on live patients
Procedures performed during training are performed on consenting patients, by licensed providers, under supervision. Participation is voluntary and outcomes vary.
Products and modalities
Some products and modalities discussed in these courses are not FDA approved or cleared for the uses described. Regen Med Academy does not manufacture, sell or endorse any product, and does not approve or clear any product. The FDA publishes guidance for patients and providers on regenerative medicine therapies.
What a certificate is, and is not
Regen Med Academy does not offer CMEs, credit hours or accreditation of any kind. What you receive is a Certificate of Completion. It records that you attended and performed the procedures under supervision. It is not a license, not a board certification, and it does not expand your scope of practice.
Coverage is yours to arrange
You are responsible for your own malpractice coverage. We will help you work out what to ask your carrier, and we recommend getting the answer in writing. Regen Med Academy does not provide, arrange or extend coverage to trainees, and nothing on this page is legal advice or an assurance of coverage.
