The demand for regenerative medicine services in British Columbia has grown substantially, creating opportunities for practitioners to differentiate their practice and offer patients access to innovative therapies. This guide outlines the key steps to establish a compliant regenerative medicine practice in BC.
Facility Requirements
Depending on the therapies offered, your facility may need to meet specific requirements for sterile preparation, injection administration, and biological product storage. Work with your provincial college and a healthcare consultant to assess your facility against applicable standards.
Practitioner Credentialing
Ensure all practitioners administering regenerative therapies have appropriate training and, where applicable, additional credentialing in areas such as ultrasound-guided injection, IV therapy, or cellular medicine.
Patient Consent
Robust informed consent processes are particularly important for emerging therapies. Document discussions of expected benefits, known risks, alternatives, and the experimental nature of certain treatments.
