Patient Education Series FAQ

Q: Am I required to take any other IFM courses prior?
A:
No, however IFM strongly recommends that you take AFMCP first.

AFMCP is offered multiple times each year, go to ifm.org/afmcp for more information.

Q: I am a single practitioner practice, can I share my PES subscription with other practitioners?
A: No. Your PES subscription cannot be transferred or shared with practitioners outside of your practice. However, your subscription does admit practitioners from your same practice. Note that the Therapeutic Food Plans elearning course may not be shared outside or within your practice.

Q: Will I be certified as a functional medicine practitioner after completing the course?
