A Peek Into the Training Modules
This course was built for physicians who want to offer their patients something most doctors have never been trained on: the ability to remove what is making them sick. The training walks through the science, clinical implementation, and real-world application of therapeutic plasma exchange.
- The mechanism behind therapeutic plasma exchange
- Why parabiosis research changed plasma biology
- Identifying the right patients in your practice
- Procedure walkthrough, equipment, and room setup
- Advanced applications: toxins, autoimmune, neuro, sports medicine
- Real case studies with biomarker outcomes
Module 1: Foundations of Therapeutic Plasma Exchange
The mechanism of action, the history of TPE, FDA-approved and emerging indications, and the parabiosis and plasma dilution research that changed our understanding of why plasma quality determines cellular function.
Module 2: Patient Selection and Assessment
Who is a candidate for TPE and who is not. The complete diagnostic workup including environmental toxin panels, genetic testing, advanced biomarkers, candidacy criteria, informed consent, and CPT coding.
Module 3: The Procedure
The Fresenius Kabi Spectra Optia system, room setup, vascular access options, and a step-by-step walkthrough of a complete TPE session from patient preparation through post-procedure monitoring.
Module 4: Advanced Applications
Environmental toxin removal protocols, autoimmune disease management, neurological applications, sports medicine integration, and combining TPE with precision medicine interventions.
Module 5: Building Your Practice
The business model behind TPE including equipment sourcing, staffing, marketing to patients and physicians, billing, compliance, and positioning TPE within a precision medicine practice.
Module 6: Case Studies
De-identified patient cases including diagnostic workups, treatment protocols, and measured pre-and-post biomarker results across environmental toxin, autoimmune, neurological, and performance optimization cases.
