A planning committee of the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine will organize a public workshop to explore how the changing landscape and increasingly interdisciplinary nature of regenerative medicine creates unique workforce demands for the field and how these needs may be met through professional development and education.
Workshop presentations and discussions may address the following topics:
• professional development and educational interests of current trainees in regenerative medicine
• unmet needs for a skilled technical workforce in regenerative medicine
• incentives and disincentives for expanding the workforce and retaining skilled individuals in the field
• issues related to current lack of workforce diversity and improving diversity
• ongoing work and possible next steps by universities, professional societies, or other stakeholders to support workforce development in regenerative medicine
The planning committee will organize the workshop, select and invite speakers, and moderate discussions. Proceedings of the workshop—in brief will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
