Fifth Annual Symposium on Regenerative Rehabilitation

Registration is Closed

COURSE OVERVIEW

This symposium features renowned researchers and clinicians focused on regenerative rehabilitation treatments and therapies. This emerging field translates discoveries in tissue engineering and cellular therapies into treatments that benefit the functional outcomes of patients.  These stimulating innovative approaches are explored with meeting attendees.

This symposium encourages participation of scientists, clinicians and physical therapists that are in the fields of regeneration and / or physical medicine and rehabilitation.  This gathering is a platform for bridging these two areas of expertise in a setting that fosters discussion, interaction, cross discipline pollination intersection and networking.

Symposiums consist of presentations delivered by speakers in Regenerative Rehabilitation that are highly interactive within translational plenary sessions.
