We have been staying on top of the latest developments happening as they relate to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak.

We empathize deeply with those who have been affected in any way by the coronavirus and are committed to making responsible decisions for your health and well-being.

To that end, as of this afternoon, we have decided to cancel  Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice (AFMCP) scheduled for March 9-13 in Charleston, South Carolina.

Our north star for making all decisions is focusing on the health of our staff, faculty, and each of you as our first priority. While risk may still be small, we take the burden of care very seriously and are committed both to putting no one in harm’s way and providing you with reasonable options to the program content.

A few things to consider in your decision-making about which approach is the right one for you:

1. Shift to AFMCP Online: You are eligible to shift your registration free of charge to the online AFMCP beginning May 4, 2020.
2. Shift to another onsite AFMCP: You may shift your registration to the AFMCP Austin, Texas in September 21-25 in at no charge.
3. Add yourself to the Charleston re-schedule list: We are trying to re-schedule the conference at the same location later in the fall (post-Austin program).
4. If you are unable to reschedule to one of these possible options, you may request a full refund via this form.
