Functional Medicine for Residents and Medical Students

We know you have worked hard and sacrificed to get to where you are in your medical training. The road is long and the sacrifice is substantial. Training programs throughout the country are structured to teach you the traditions of medicine and the scientific foundations of clinical practice.

Many of the best and brightest in medicine have gone on to study functional medicine so they could gain the specific skills that allow them to apply the latest scientific discoveries to clinical medicine. Functional medicine is a systems-based approach that deeply values understanding each patient as an individual. Learning how to use personalized knowledge of each individual’s biochemistry, genetics, epigenetics, and metabolomics is what sets functional medicine apart.

Others aspire to unravel the root causes of illness, and functional medicine provides a framework and skill set to accomplish this. Why not avail yourself of the most sophisticated training available to apply the science you are learning to clinical medicine in novel and rewarding ways? Practicing functional medicine is a thoughtful and satisfying way to take what you have learned to the next level.
