I’m thinking of going to a clinic for regenerative medicine in Tijuana and I’d like to check the doctors out ahead of time.
Comments:
The cédula profesional is the doctor’s medical license. Its number appears on their business cards (etc.) by law. We recently had a case of a U.S. doctor practicing here in Tijuana who killed a patient under anesthesia and it was discovered after he hightailed it back to the States that his cédula was a fake. Oops! The Secretaría de Salud issues the cédulas, so they’re the ones to ask. Except they’re not very user-friendly.
You could also contact the appropriate medical college to which your candidates belong. They should have their members’ credentials on file. But there are a lot of medical colleges to contact, and none yet for regenerative medicine.
Our state government’s medical arbitration board used to confirm credentials by e-mail and in English as a courtesy for medical tourists. But they’ve had a change in leadership and are now fairly hostile to medical tourism. They’ve moved their office to an area only locals can find. They’ve forgotten their English. They don’t even answer their e-mail. But their main purpose is corrective, not preventative, so we can’t get too upset with their new policies.
That leaves the International Board of Medicine and Surgery. This is a voluntary organization for medical tourism throughout the world. To join, the doctor or dentist has to present all of their credentials, which are then verified, and she or he has to commit to indemnifying their patients in the event complications arise after the patient returns to their home country. What this means is a standard of care beyond a simple confirmation of the professional credentials and a standard of care beyond what patients normally find in their home countries. This is the future of medical tourism — but the accent is on “future”. IBMS is a young organization: few medical professionals have heard of it as yet.
So, to answer your question, I would say the easiest way to check a doctor’s credentials, under the constraints of medical tourism, is to ask the person if she or he is a member of IBMS and if not why not. The burden of proof, after all, should be on the medical professional to prove they are who they say they are — that shouldn’t be the patient’s responsibility. Good for you for wanting to go the extra mile.
Since you specified regenerative medicine in your question, I know of only two such clinics in Tijuana although there might be others. One is in the Hospital Ángeles and it trades on the hospital’s reputation. Recently a couple of unhappy patients made a stink on the Internet and then disappeared. The other is in the western end of the Zona Río. There is no reason to name either of them here but you are absolutely right to check their credentials.
I’d like to go into regenerative medicine in graduate school, and I know that both Chemistry and Physics would help me. Since taking Chemistry guarantees me required Physics courses, would it make sense to just double major?
Comments:
Do you think you could handle it? Would your school be willing to let you drop to a single major if you find out it’s a bit too much for you? Sounds like you should get some advice or answers from your advisor and any instructors (or TAs) that you trust. Then go ahead and make your own choice. Personally, I’d say it sounds like a good thing to try, but I’m not the one who would have to do the work..
I am doing a project on Regenerative Medicine and I need to know what the education requirements are to study this field. Thanks

I’ve got a friend studying regenerative medicine. Any gift ideas? Be it popular books or funny gifts?

The fountain of youth 
Right before you purchase a domain name for your business website, you should contemplate this question first: Are you really sure that the domain name you’re buying is the most suitable one for your enterprise? It isn’t unheard of for amateur site owners to commit the oversight of not brainstorming their selected domain name ahead of its acquisition. It’s plausible that the domain name doesn’t appropriately detail the website’s role. It might not be effectively improved for search engines. Or most likely the domain name previously has been around previously and was associated with undesirable things that can weaken the firm’s popularity. It certainly won’t be surprising whatsoever that these newbie website owners would only discover their mistake when the website is already online and it has become impossible to fix it.
So, it’s critical that you choose your domain name very cautiously right before you go ahead and obtain it. It will not do you any good to only purchase a domain name and then feel regretful about your call eventually mainly because the name is not a fit for your webpage and business. It may well save you a great deal of trouble eventually if you think about a number of aspects first. Find out where to purchase domain names safely.
But what exactly are these elements that you should take into account when you purchase a domain name? As stated above, the domain name you select should match the goal of your webpage or enterprise. For this reason, it is best to generate a name that amply connotes what you are endeavoring to reach. Right before Google changed its concentration on marketing, webmasters typically utilized their most significant keywords for their domain names. This is intended to make their webpage optimized for search engines. Should you wish to utilize your keywords, you may still go for it. Nevertheless, it may assist you more in the event you chose your brand name as your domain name as opposed to your keywords.
One more undertaking you need to take care of before your purchase of a domain name is to determine if the name was already utilized in the past. This can be done by turning to The Wayback Machine and related free solutions. In case the domain name you selected was already used, then you ought to consider its backlinks and what sort of business it was associated with. Should the domain name is penalized or is associated with hate campaigns, sex sites or anything nefarious, it will be more advantageous if you contemplated some other name in its place. Whilst we’re on the subject of associations, in the event you go with your URL name, you ought to confirm that it isn’t just like any trade name already being employed. As an example, it might not be advisable for one to select a URL name such as www.google-seo.com in case you are planning to use the webpage to build up an SEO consultancy. You might find yourself in a lawsuit for brand infringement.
One other trick you will find advantageous in the event you purchase your domain name is to make it concise. It’s undeniably true that your domain name ought to be as detailed as it could be, as mentioned above. Nonetheless, think about this: Which would be less cumbersome for your visitors to key in or bear in mind – datingandrelationshipadviceandtips.com or thelovedoctor.com?
And finally, but definitely not the least, you really should invest on a .com domain. The fee on a .com domain is clearly more considerable, but a .com has a more reliable tone to it compared to less costly .biz or .info TLDs. Additionally, the less expensive domains are normally connected with spammers.
These are the components you’ll want to give some thought to prior to buying a domain name. Keep in mind: Your selection of domain name is vital to the existence and reputation of your website, as well as your enterprise. Thus, before you purchase a domain name, ensure that you have given it a great deal of serious consideration first.
