Functional Medicine CE Virtual Symposium

Functional Medicine CE – Continuing Education

We Offer Continuing Education Training From the Comfort of Your Home

Venue

Your home or favorite coffee shop. Everything is online.

Transport

No travel needed. Online so you just need to find a quiet place to listen.

Hotel & Restaurant

Hotels are overrated. Sleep in your own bed and make your own food.

Foundational Continuing Education

On-Demand CE

Each on-demand session will cover relevant pathophysiology and biochemsitry of the diease state, as well as the standard of care including common interventions both urgent and on-going. Lastly, each session will touch on how we can support biochemistry and address nutrient depletions relevant to each disease process.

Virtual Conferences

Two Live CE Conferences Each Year

Our live virtual conferences are a chance to pull it all together and take what you have learned in the on-demand and apply the functional medicine lens to address the underlying pathophysiology.

Each live event will include a pathophysigology review, appropriate functional medicine clinical assessment, including labs/testing, nutrition and nutraceutical interventions, emerging science spotlight and cases! We will also include a case to take-home and we will come together the following week to put-it-all together and address any additional follow-up questions.
