THI International Symposium on Cardiovascular Regenerative Medicine 2020

May 1-2, 2020

Program Overview

Unlike areas with known evidence-based knowledge, the field of clinical regenerative medicine and stem cell therapy is a nascent field in which most of the competence and performance issues are unestablished. In the current landscape, as this field develops, it is important to share new findings, discuss and debate the state of the field in order to direct further development, and build the framework for its clinical implementation. This meeting provides an important forum for these activities.

The primary need for this educational activity is knowledge based – both the need for knowledge and the application of knowledge to establish successful strategies in clinical regenerative medicine.

To achieve these goals, this symposium includes advanced lectures and dynamic case presentations from experts in each field, as well as the opportunity to interact with leaders in an intimate meeting format.

Join Global Leaders in the Field of Clinical Regenerative Medicine & Stem Cell Therapy

Target Audience

Our audience for this continuing medical education activity includes physicians and researchers. Also, fellows, residents, physician assistants, nurses / nurse practitioners and medical students with an interest in cardiovascular regenerative medicine are encouraged to participate.
