In Los Angeles on June 25, 2027, the Functional Medicine Training (Modules I & II) introduces clinicians to a systematic approach that integrates genetics, environment, and lifestyle into patient assessment. Participants review current evidence on metabolic pathways, gut microbiome interactions, and endocrine regulation. The curriculum emphasizes the use of validated laboratory panels, detailed history taking, and risk stratification tools. By the end of the first module, clinicians can construct a functional health map that guides individualized care plans.
The day-long session is held at the host venue in Los Angeles in Los Angeles, where participants move through interactive case studies, laboratory data interpretation, and treatment planning workshops. Each clinician works with a simulated patient file, selects appropriate functional tests, and drafts a nutrition and supplement protocol under faculty guidance. Small group discussions allow real-time feedback on clinical reasoning. The schedule includes a brief didactic segment, followed by hands-on activities that reinforce the concepts introduced in Module I and prepare attendees for the advanced topics covered in Module II.
This training is intended for physicians, osteopathic doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other licensed clinicians who wish to expand their proficiency in functional assessment and integrative therapeutics. It is suitable for practitioners who already manage chronic conditions and are looking for additional tools to address underlying biochemical imbalances. Participants will leave with a set of practical templates, reference guides, and a framework for incorporating functional strategies into routine practice while maintaining alignment with conventional standards of care.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which professional licenses are appropriate for this workshop?
The program is open to clinicians who hold a current, unrestricted license to practice medicine or advanced practice. Typical participants include MDs, DOs, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other health professionals with appropriate credentialing. Attendees should confirm that their license permits participation in educational activities of this type and that any clinical recommendations align with their scope of practice as defined by their licensing board.
What does the hands-on portion of the day involve?
During the hands-on segment, participants work with de-identified patient cases that include laboratory results, dietary histories, and symptom logs. Each clinician selects appropriate functional tests, interprets the data, and develops a personalized intervention plan that may include nutrition, lifestyle modifications, and targeted supplements. Faculty members observe the process, provide immediate feedback, and demonstrate how to document the plan within an electronic health record. The activity is designed to translate theory into practical decision-making.
How are Modules I and II organized within the workshop?
Module I focuses on foundational concepts such as systems biology, clinical interviewing techniques, and selection of core laboratory panels. Participants practice building a functional health map and identifying key drivers of disease. Module II expands on that foundation by introducing advanced topics like mitochondrial function, hormone modulation, and complex case integration. The two modules are delivered sequentially in a single day, allowing learners to apply the basics before moving to more nuanced therapeutic strategies.
Will there be opportunities for peer discussion and case review?
Yes, the agenda includes scheduled small-group discussions where participants share their interpretation of case data and compare treatment plans. Faculty facilitators guide the conversation, highlighting evidence-based rationale and encouraging critical appraisal. These sessions provide a collaborative environment for clinicians to learn from each other's experience, refine diagnostic reasoning, and explore alternative therapeutic options. Peer feedback is integrated throughout the day to reinforce learning objectives.
What resources are provided after the workshop?
After the training, each participant receives electronic copies of the slide deck, a curated list of peer-reviewed articles, and templates for functional assessment and care planning. Access to a secure online forum is granted for three months, allowing attendees to ask follow-up questions and share experiences with faculty and peers. The materials are intended to support ongoing integration of functional medicine concepts into everyday clinical practice.
