Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice (AFMCP) synthesizes the latest medical research with a model of care that integrates each patient's individual history, genetics, and lifestyle factors. AFMCP equips clinicians to design effective, personalized treatments for each patient.

In a small-group, case-based setting, a team of experienced Functional Medicine clinicians teach participants how to use IFM's tools to improve outcomes for patients with chronic diseases.

• How to integrate appropriate assessment tools to diagnose, treat, and assess patient outcomes from a Functional Medicine approach
• How to utilize innovative and practical assessment tools
• Methods to establish a mutually empowering partnership between clinician and patient
