Education and Programs at CTEC

CTEC Inter-Institutional Seminar Series

CTEC Inter-Institutional Seminar Series continue the evolution of an expanding community of highly interactive Ohio innovators.

Musculoskeletal Basic Science Programs

The Musculoskeletal Basic Science Program advances a broad regional base of knowledge in musculoskeletal medicine and technologies among the talented student population in the CCF/Case/UH community.

Musculoskeletal Research Seminar Series

The Musculoskeletal Research Seminar Series was established in 2003 in collaboration with researchers at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Case Western Reserve University, University Hospital, and the Northeast Ohio University College of Medicine. Monthly seminars at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and Case Western Reserve University disseminate results of ongoing musculoskeletal research, create synergistic interactions, and provide enrichment programs for the wider musculoskeletal research community in the Northeast Ohio area. The seminars feature distinguished musculoskeletal researchers and presentations from members of the Northeast Ohio musculoskeletal research community.

Skeletal Research Center Seminar Series

The Skeletal Research Center Seminar Series is a lecture series that run twice a year. The Fall series runs in conjunction with the Fall classes and the same for the Spring series. The lecture series includes senior lab personnel and collaborators from Case Western Reserve University. The series also includes collaborators from other US universities as well as collaborators abroad who specialize in Cell Therapy and Regenerative Medicine, Cartilage Repair, Cell Targeting, Skin Aging research and many other areas.

The Skeletal Research Center is an administrative entity under the dean of Arts and Sciences and the dean of the School of Medicine and is based in the Department of Biology at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. The mission of the Skeletal Research Center is to facilitate the advancement of the basic research of skeletal tissues and to accelerate the translation of this new information into innovative clinical strategies for the regeneration and maintenance of skeletal tissues.

International Summits

Cartilage Innovation Summit

Bone Innovation Summit
The Cleveland Clinic Bone Innovation Summit is a unique conference designed to bring together clinicians, scientists and industry leaders in multiple disciplines to explore current and future opportunities for advancing the diagnosis and treatment of bone disease and fractures.

Knee Innovation Summit
The Cleveland Clinic Knee Innovation Summit is directed at physicians, surgeons and related staff who want to stay current on advanced surgical techniques and sophisticated technologies,through valuable and continuing education and dialogue with expert peers.

New for 2009!

Orthopaedic and Rheumatology Care Quality Innovation Summit

The Cleveland Clinic Orthopaedic and Rheumatology Care Quality Innovation Summit explores the state of the art in the assessment and management of quality in musculoskeletal medicine by integrating the perspectives of the key stakeholders, including patients, physicians, institutions, professional societies, public and private payers, regulatory agencies, nongovernment organizations, patient safety organizations, device and pharmaceutical industries, funding entities, and state and federal regulatory agencies.

Cell Based Therapies and Tissue Engineering Course (CTTE)

The Cell Based Therapies and Tissue Engineering Course is intended for graduate students, post-graduate students and health science professionals who are interested in Tissue Engineering with emphasis on the principles and detailed protocols used or being modeled for direct clinical use.

Executive Course in Regenerative Medicine and Entrepreneurism

The Executive Course in Regenerative Medicine and Entrepreneurism is focused on the needs of business professionals requiring familiarity with the technologies and strategies that are shaping the field of Tissue Engineering.

MSC 2009

MSC2009 will offer a forum for the exchange and discussion of research, ideas, and cutting-edge breakthroughs in translational regenerative medicine. The breadth of topics from basic discovery through model validation, clinical product development, and therapeutic application, in addition to the links between academic and commercial labs, make this conference imperative for industrial researchers, academic investigators and graduate and post-doctoral students.
