Medical Training AIPRP Fundamentals for Clinicians
You'll be able to explain the biologic rationale for platelet-rich plasma and evaluate preparation and application choices for common regenerative use cases.
What this track covers
This track covers the platelet biology and growth factors behind PRP, how collection and centrifugation choices affect the final preparation, and how PRP is used across aesthetic, orthopedic, and hair restoration contexts. It's built for clinicians who need a solid working knowledge of the science and clinical reasoning, not a procedural walkthrough.
What you will practice
- Explain the role of PDGF, TGF-beta, VEGF, EGF, and FGF in tissue healing
- Compare single-spin vs double-spin centrifugation tradeoffs
- Identify factors that affect platelet concentration and preparation quality
- Distinguish appropriate PRP use cases across aesthetics, orthopedics, and hair restoration
- Recognize patient selection factors and contraindications relevant to PRP therapy
Simulator scenario
A patient presents asking about PRP for chronic lateral epicondylitis, and the clinician must gather history, discuss realistic expectations, and decide whether PRP is an appropriate next step.
Board question topics
- Growth factors involved in platelet-mediated healing
- Centrifugation methods and their effect on platelet concentration
- Appropriate clinical indications for PRP by specialty
- Patient selection and safety considerations for PRP therapy
