FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE ACADMY
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN PRACTICING FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE?
A DYNAMIC CERTIFICATION PROGRAM OFFERED THROUGH FMA TRAINING WITH DR. ZACHARY (IFMCP) INSTRUCTING
The Functional Medicine AcademyTM trains licensed physicians and nutritional professionals in the science, art, and business of running a holistic health practice.
​
You may earn the Functional Medicine Academy Certified Practitioner (FMACP) upon completion of the program if you are a licensed MD, DO, DC, ND, OMD, PhD, LAc, NP, RN
​
You may earn the Functional Medicine Academy Certified Coach (FMACC) upon completion of the program if you are a CMT, CNC, health coach or a student interested in nutrition.
​
In all cases, graduates may use the information up to the full scope of practice for their profession and/or according to state laws.
The Functional Medicine AcademyTM (FMA) was created for some of the following reasons:
​
-
There is a huge demand for Functional Medicine practitioners but not enough of them trained to meet that need.​
-
Many traditionally trained physicians are lacking in nutrition or Functional Medicine knowledge.
-
Many professionals with adequate nutrition training lack needed business skills and marketing savvy to create a successful practice.
-
Often licensed practitioners and non-licensed nutrition professionals do not speak the "same language" and miss an opportunity to refer to one another or work for one another in a holistic health clinic.
-
Sometimes clinically competent practitioners lack the skills to effectively communicate with patients.
-
Some health professionals need to learn how to blend cutting-edge Functional Medicine labwork with western and eastern healing modalities.
-
There are "newbies" interested in Functional Medicine that want to get a running start and experienced docs making the switch to Functional Medicine that don't want to have to reinvent the wheel.
