Overview
Stem cell–based dopamine cell therapies are an area of intense research and growing interest in the management of Parkinson’s Disease (PD). As research progresses and patients increasingly seek information about emerging treatment options, clinicians are often challenged to provide clinical guidance on the potential role of such cellular therapeutics in addressing some of the motor features in PD. This enduring online activity will provide clinicians with a comprehensive understanding of stem cell-based approaches for PD, covering the biological rationale, current clinical trial outcomes, and how these strategies compare to existing and other advanced therapies. This course empowers participants to support patients in making safe, evidence-based decision-making about emerging treatment options.
Learning Objectives
- Explain the rationale for stem cell derived dopamine cell therapies in Parkinson’s disease.
- Evaluate the potential impact of stem cell therapies on patient care in Parkinson’s disease.
- Distinguish between evidence-based stem cell therapies and unproven or experimental interventions.

Accreditation
The Harvard Medical School designates this for a maximum of 1.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
For the purpose of recertification, the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Certification Board and American Nurses Credentialing Center accept AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ issued by organizations accredited by the ACCME (Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education). We would also suggest that learners check with their state licensing board to ensure they accept reciprocity with AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ for re-licensure.
The National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) states that AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ are acceptable for continuing medical education requirements for recertification. We would also suggest that learners check with their state licensing board to ensure they accept reciprocity with AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ for re-licensure.
The American Medical Association (AMA) has an agreement of mutual recognition of continuing medical education (CME) credit with the European Union of Medical Specialties (UEMS). Additional information regarding this agreement may be found on the European Union of Medical Specialties website.
The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada recognizes conferences and workshops held outside of Canada that are developed by a university, academy, hospital, specialty society or college as accredited group learning activities.
