Udayana University School of Medicine in Indonesia is the first educational institution in the world to offer a Masters Degree in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine. The two-year long, government sanctioned and approved program is offered under auspices of the University's Department of Biomedical Sciences. It is the world's first such program of study and qualification.
Robert Goldman, MD, PhD, DO, FAASP, WAAAM Chairman, and Ronald Klatz, MD, DO, WAAAM Advisory Board Member, each serve as Visiting Professors to the Masters Degree in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine program. An official ceremony in September 2007 officiated the posts, and signified a giant step forward in the availability of anti-aging medical care in Indonesia. The Masters Degree program offers an academic track that will train physicians locally and from around the world, potentially making Bali an elite educational center for the anti-aging medical specialty. The program offers graduate and specialist programs, as well as short-term courses for general practitioners. Special certificate courses geared toward the general public are also available.
Nearby Nusa Dua, Bali was the scene of the Asia Anti-Aging Conference, which took place in September 2007. The event encompassed The 6th Asia Pacific Conference on Anti-Aging Medicine, the 3rd International Conference on Wellness & Anti-Aging Medicine, and the 1st Asia Hospital CEO Summit. It functioned as the key educational program in the anti-aging medical specialty taking place amidst a regional population of 4 billion who comprise a sizeable share of the world's aging citizens. Hundreds of physicians from across the region participated in lectures and workshops.
