The
Certification Program™ provided by The
Academy of Functional Medicine and
Genomics is an educational,webinar-based program which
focuses on functional medicine testing and
treatment strategies as it relates to all
healthcare disorders.The emphasis of the
curriculum will be on learninghow to think about medical
and psychiatric disorders through
biochemical and physiological
investigations, rather than on what to think or simply
learning and memorizing facts, which is a
more conventional approach to learning about
healthcare matters.
The
primary course objective will be to
establish anew way of
thinking about medical and psychiatric
disorders. Once participants begin to
appreciate the wisdom of investigating the
unique, root, biochemical causes of
suffering in each patient, they may never be
satisfied with guessing (i.e., “If you don’t test,
you’ve guessed”). This exciting
paradigm shift can refresh one’s career as
every patient approached in this way can
teach us new information if we are willing
to investigate the underlying, scientific
basis of their suffering.
