Suitable for GMC-registered doctors and international medical practitioners holding a current licence to practise medicine within their country of practice.
36 Modules | 108 Hours | Structured 6-Month Online Pathway
Clinical Authority
A structured diploma pathway built for licensed clinicians integrating prevention, metabolic health and longevity science into everyday practice.
ABLM formalises the clinical application of ageing science into a structured certification pathway. Delivered through evidence-based education, the programme provides clinicians with a clear framework to assess and manage the underlying drivers of ageing, metabolic dysfunction and chronic disease.
What is ABLM?
The ABLM is a formal certification pathway under the American Board of Regenerative Medicine, designed to translate longevity science into real-world clinical application.
It is delivered as a structured 6-month online learning pathway designed around clinical practice, giving you a clear framework to assess and manage the underlying drivers of ageing, metabolic dysfunction and chronic disease.
Regenerative medicine diploma under the American Board of Regenerative Medicine
Clinically grounded and designed for real-world application
Evidence-led, not theoretical
Focused on prevention, optimisation and long-term health
Your ABLM teaching faculty
This pathway is supported by course-specific faculty for the longevity and lifestyle-medicine elements of the programme—clinicians who combine active practice with programme leadership, so teaching maps directly to how the diploma is structured and assessed.
Mr Ansar Mahmood
Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon MB ChB, MRCS Ed, FRCS (Tr&Orth) — Academy Founder
Mr Ansar Mahmood is a fellowship-trained Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon and the founder of the Academy of Regenerative Medicine. He practises within a leading Major Trauma unit in the UK, with specialist interests in orthopaedic trauma, sports injuries and tendon disorders.
He leads the Academy's postgraduate pathways—including preparation toward the ABLM Regenerative Medicine Diploma—with a focus on practical, evidence-driven training that clinicians can apply responsibly in regulated practice.
He is deeply committed to advancing the field of orthobiologics and regenerative therapies, frequently speaking at international conferences and training the next generation of clinicians. His clinical approach integrates cutting-edge biological treatments with traditional orthopaedic surgery to accelerate recovery.
Through the Academy, Mr Mahmood has pioneered comprehensive protocols that improve long-term outcomes in complex musculoskeletal conditions, ensuring that regenerative medicine is taught with the highest standards of clinical governance and patient safety.
Key Areas Taught
- Academy leadership & ABLM programme pathway
- Evidence-based longevity and regenerative education design
- MSK trauma, sports injury and tendon care

Her work bridges conventional hepatology with preventative, lifestyle-based and regenerative approaches to care, with a focus on improving long-term patient outcomes.
Key Areas Taught
- Lifestyle medicine & nutrition in chronic disease
- Hepatology, liver immunology & metabolic health
- Public and patient involvement (PPIE) & patient support initiatives
- Preventative, lifestyle-based & regenerative approaches to long-term outcomes
What You'll Be Able to Do
Each milestone is phrased as a clinical capability—not a topic list—so you can see what changes in your practice as you progress.
By module 8 you'll be able to relate core ageing pathways to presentation, risk and follow-up in everyday practice.
By module 12 you'll be able to interpret six core longevity biomarkers and build a treatment plan around them.
By module 18 you'll be able to evaluate metabolic dysfunction as a longevity issue and set practical optimisation priorities.
By module 24 you'll be able to combine nutrition, lifestyle and preventative strategies into plans patients can actually follow.
By module 30 you'll be able to weigh advanced longevity therapies against evidence, safety and regulatory boundaries in your setting.

A Shift in Clinical Practice
Medicine is changing.
The focus is moving away from reactive care towards earlier intervention, metabolic health and long-term patient outcomes.
The clinicians leading this shift are not waiting for traditional training pathways to catch up.
They are actively developing the knowledge and clinical frameworks required to practise differently.
The ABLM certification is part of that progression.
It provides a structured, evidence-based approach to longevity and preventative medicine — not as an alternative to conventional care, but as an extension of it.
For clinicians who recognise where medicine is heading, this is an opportunity to move early, with the credibility and clinical grounding to do it properly.
