IFM has elevated the most important information about how Functional Medicine is changing health care while expanding opportunities for clinicians to get involved and easily navigate through their Functional Medicine education.
Many of the new features on IFM’s website have been enhanced to be more accessible and user friendly.

With the improved database, patients can search for practitioners based on location, degree, specialty, condition, and more.
Laurie Hofmann, IFM’s chief executive officer, states, “IFM is pleased to launch a new website designed to meet the needs of an expanded set of users, including patients, practitioners, academic and professional programs, researchers, payers, health systems, and more. Representing the culmination of more than a year of work, IFM?s website redesign helps to fulfill one of the 2016-2020 Strategic Plan objectives by expanding access to Functional Medicine globally.”
Andie Crosby, IFM’s director of partner experience and engagement, states, “IFM’s new website and learning management system places the needs of clinicians front and center. With expanded online learning opportunities from foundational to advanced levels, IFM will be able to radically expand access to our curriculum globally.”
