Academic Partnerships Elevate the Evolution of Medical Education

We collaborate with leading academic institutions to integrate functional medicine alongside core curricula. Training healthcare providers on this personalized approach early in their careers impacts a greater number of patients across a wider geographic area and in earlier stages of disease.

Expanding the Reach of Functional Medicine Education

Integrating functional medicine curricula helps academic institutions attract candidates who understand the value and importance of treating the whole person. We provide faculty with foundational teaching tools and educational resources to expand their students' approach to care.

Empowering the Next Generation of Providers

Academic institutions provide the ideal setting for clinical professionals to fully understand and embrace the functional medicine model. IFM's academic organizational memberships elevate and differentiate core curricula, preparing faculty and students to be the healthcare leaders of tomorrow.
