An analysis of stem cell training programs for physicians in the US—A mirage of credibility
Analyzing stem cell training businesses for United States (US) physicians shows the use of sensationalized marketing language emphasizing profits and growth with many of the instructors affiliated with clinics providing unproven therapies. We argue that many current pedagogical offerings for physicians interested in stem cell interventions are likely to offer questionable training and outline red flags for physicians interested in stem cell therapies.
