The current lack of training for physicians in cell‐based therapy combined with the sharply increasing practice of regenerative medicine is concerning for a number of reasons, namely potential harm to patients and avoidable conflicts between governmental regulatory agencies and physicians. This review describes the implementation of a Clinical Research Skills Development Program with the purpose of promoting the further development of academic fellowship programs in cell‐based regenerative medicine.
