14 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ Accreditation This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential Areas and Policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of the Foundation for Care Management (FCM) and The Academy of Regenerative Practices. The Foundation for Care Management (FCM) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians. FCM designates this educational activity for a maximum of 14 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in this activity. Purpose of the course/mission statement/target audience The ARP is dedicated to the education of medical practitioners in the latest cellular medicine techniques and therapies. The ARP provides a forum for multiple disciplines to integrate and learn the most advanced regenerative clinical applications. The goal of this conference is to give you the tools necessary to implement regenerative medicine into your practice. Attending will be MDs, DOs, NDs, PAs.
