AIC 2025
IFM's Annual International Conference is the largest and most influential gathering of functional medicine practitioners in the world.
Transforming Health Through Connection, Innovation, and Comprehensive Care
As health issues become increasingly complex, a systems-based approach considers the intricate interplay between physical, emotional, and environmental factors that contribute to the feed-forward loop of chronic disease. By deepening our connection to patients, communities, and the environments around us, we can unlock new possibilities for long-term healing. It’s time to move beyond symptom management, toward a truly integrated approach that embraces innovative treatments and delivers whole-person care. This conference will explore modern perspectives on transforming health that empower practitioners and inspire lasting change.
More than just a medical conference, it's an experience of community
Connect, Interact, and Participate
AIC is an interactive experience designed for you to connect with new colleagues, take part in meaningful clinical discussions, and honor your role as a healthcare professional.
