As it begins to enter the clinic, regenerative medicine has the potential to revolutionize healthcare. Although there exists a growing need for individuals well-versed in the practice of regenerative medicine, few undergraduate institutions offer opportunities to learn about the topic. This article highlights the conception of two novel undergraduate courses in regenerative medicine developed through collaboration between students and faculty at our University to fill this void in the undergraduate curriculum. Lectures from scientists, healthcare professionals, regulatory experts and biotechnology leaders introduced students to regenerative medicine research and the translational process, and a certificate program incorporating relevant coursework and research experience is in development. This pipeline will guide promising undergraduate students to the field of regenerative medicine. |
