The ABTC was initially created in July, 1999, as an effort to share the exprience/expertise of PRFUZN, Inc. with other individuals that had an interest in this new and evolving technology.
The purpose of the Course is to impart knowledge acquired by PRFUZN, Inc. as an aid to the development of the technology. It is important to understand that the technical information presented during the Course may not be the only way of conducting the technology, but the information is presented as “what works for us.” However, it is our intent that with the knowledge acquired during the ABTC, each attendee does not have to re-invent the wheel in order to develop a successful clinical practice.
Our Goal
The attendance goal of the ABTC is a limit of twenty-four (24) registrants. It is our experience that a small class offers the attendees an enhanced learning experience along with an opportunity to become an active participant in the Class.
The teaching goal of the ABTC is that regardless of what level of knowledge the attendee has upon their arrival, that knowledge base will increase significantly before their departure. Additionally, we believe that exposure to true Southern Hospitality will also be an aid to their learning experience.
The Course
The Autologous Blood Therapy Course is a basic seminar developed for the individual that wishes to expand their knowledge of the new and exciting technology: PRP (platelet-rich-plasma)/ Platelet Concentrate, point-of-care stem cell processing, and autotransfusion.
The Course content is comprised of: Basic science; Growth Factors; Wound Healing; Regulatory Guidelines; Policy, Process, and Procedures; Large/Small/Variable Systems; Business Practice Development; Stem Cells; Sequestration Techniques; Applications Techniques; Mini Case Reports; Reimbursements; and Practical (wet lab) Experience.
The Course requires completion of four (4) self-study modules and then an on-site educational offering, in Jackson, Mississippi, which requires 2 1/2 days (21.75 clock hours). CEU’s are awarded (previous courses: 27 {I} + 4{III} = 31 CEU’s), in addition to a certificate of completion.
The design of the Course allows an inclusive tuition (excluding travel) of eight hundred and thirty five dollars ($835.00). Included are self-study modules (4), On-Site Class, Course Notebooks (2), three (3) nights hotel accommodations, breakfast and lunch each class room day, and airport transportation.
The Autologous Blood Therapy Course is offered at intervals of every four (4) months.
