Course Overview

What if clinical care could go beyond symptom management, helping you understand and treat the unique causes of disease and dysfunction in each patient? What if you could help your patients take control of their health with personalized dietary and lifestyle recommendations? Functional medicine provides an actionable framework for evaluating core clinical imbalances using IFM proprietary tools such as the timeline and matrix. By fully understanding how a patient’s genetic and family history, environment, and lifestyle factors influence their overall health, you will be able to leverage additional data that enables you to create personalized treatment plans using the therapeutic modalities that matter to them most. Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice (AFMCP) equips you with the clinical concepts, skills, and tools to create deeper connections with your patients and support them on their health journey. 

Through a combination of video lectures, case studies, online activities, and quizzes, experienced functional medicine clinicians will guide you through a comprehensive approach to patient care. Learn how to work with your patients to personalize treatments, improve their current conditions, and support their long-term health and longevity. 

AFMCP Online allows you to learn at your own pace. Access the 11-week course at any time of the day from any location with internet.

Health Coaching Experiential

As part of the AFMCP course, attendees have the opportunity to participate in five sessions of personalized health coaching with support from a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach, a $400 value.

Functional medicine practitioners regularly prescribe lifestyle changes as a core part of a patient's treatment plan. Participating in these coaching sessions allows practitioners to experience the value of health coaching from a patient’s perspective and further understand the process of facilitating behavior change.  

  • Attendees have the opportunity to be coached in the following areas:
  • Dietary change and IFM food plans (as part of this particular opportunity, we’ve created a series of webinars to go through the elimination diet specifically if you choose this as the area you’d like to be coached through)
  • Stress management and work-life balance
  • Movement
  • Relationships
  • Sleep

Participation in health coaching is optional. Early registration is encouraged as spaces are limited. It is important to note that this is a client-focused experiential opportunity for lifestyle behavior change and not a training on coaching techniques.

Hands-On Experience

Experiencing health coaching first-hand gives you insight into potential challenges to adherence. By making lifestyle changes yourself, you also experience their therapeutic benefit.

What does a functional medicine coach do?

A Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach (FMCHC) has a solid understanding of the foundations of functional medicine and is fully trained to utilize resources provided by IFM, such as the timeline, matrix, and various food plans. This background allows them to understand and, with the addition of their coaching skills, support patients with the implementation of a functional medicine treatment plan. An FMCHC does not assess, prescribe, diagnose, treat, or interpret results, nor do they provide meal plans or fitness programs.

FMCA graduates are trained to work closely with clients on modifiable lifestyle factors that influence health. They are experts in behavior change and employ effective strengths-based coaching strategies such as motivational interviewing and appreciative inquiry. Health coaches possess the skills required to create connection, trust, and rapport. This leads to improved communication with the treating practitioner, a better understanding of the therapeutic plan, and a deeper commitment to following treatment recommendations.

What can I expect in my sessions with my FMCHC? 

You will have five sessions with your health coach during this program. It will be up to you and your coach to determine the length and frequency of your sessions, but in general, health coaching sessions range from 30 to 60 minutes in length, and it is recommended that clients meet weekly or biweekly for the best results.

During the first “Foundational Session,” you will meet your coach, discuss your health goals, vision, and aspirations, and co-create a plan to help you reach those goals over the next four weeks.
