Our courses are taught by practicing clinicians, one provider at a time, in a working practice. If you perform these procedures and want to teach them, tell us about your practice. [Apply to teach](/join-our-faculty/#apply) [How teaching works](/join-our-faculty/) Next step ## Train with the people who do this every week. Private, hands-on, with a practicing clinician. [Request a date now](/contact/) [See all courses](/our-courses/) Important information ## Read this before you book. Six short notes on what the training is and is not. Open a heading to read it. 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](/regenerative-medicine-laws-by-state/). 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](https://www.fsmb.org/contact-a-state-medical-board/). 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](https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/consumers-biologics/important-patient-and-consumer-information-about-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. ```json {"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/regenmedacademy.com\/our-instructors\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":"1","item":{"@id":"https:\/\/regenmedacademy.com","name":"Home"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":"2","item":{"@id":"https:\/\/regenmedacademy.com\/our-instructors\/","name":"Instructors"}}]}]} ```
