Abstract
Abstract: Regenerative medicine is a rapidly advancing field, particularly within the field of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. While orthobiologics are currently being used in clinical practice, there remains a need for high-quality clinical trials and translational research to standardize treatments and improve patient outcomes. Education is vital for streamlining development of evidence-based, practical, and effective treatments. In this article, we highlight the need for a one-year advanced fellowship in translational orthobiologics aiming to create a standardized core curriculum targeting physicians involved in treating musculoskeletal (MSK) diseases. The fellowship's objectives include advancing translational orthobiologics research, ethical considerations, and promoting effective communication regarding orthobiologic therapies. Such a program would serve as a foundation for physicians interested in conducting clinically oriented orthobiologics research for MSK disorders while improving the development of safe and effective therapeutics related to musculoskeletal disorders.
期刊介绍:
American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation focuses on the practice, research and educational aspects of physical medicine and rehabilitation. Monthly issues keep physiatrists up-to-date on the optimal functional restoration of patients with disabilities, physical treatment of neuromuscular impairments, the development of new rehabilitative technologies, and the use of electrodiagnostic studies. The Journal publishes cutting-edge basic and clinical research, clinical case reports and in-depth topical reviews of interest to rehabilitation professionals.
Topics include prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal conditions, brain injury, spinal cord injury, cardiopulmonary disease, trauma, acute and chronic pain, amputation, prosthetics and orthotics, mobility, gait, and pediatrics as well as areas related to education and administration. Other important areas of interest include cancer rehabilitation, aging, and exercise. The Journal has recently published a series of articles on the topic of outcomes research. This well-established journal is the official scholarly publication of the Association of Academic Physiatrists (AAP).
