More Info – Certificate of Training (COT) in Integrative and Functional Medical Nutrition Therapy (IFMNT)
To practice most responsibly and with the highest level of confidence, you’ll need the deepest coverage of core IFMNT topics. Join pioneer and leading expert, Susan Allen–Evenson, RDN, CCN, FMNS and several noted guest expert presenters for the most comprehensive IFMNT training that exists today!
This training is different! Since our courses are held mostly as live and interactive webinars, our content is consistently updated and expanded. Research is continually reviewed and that means our training is evidence-based, cutting-edge, and hot off the press. Live training also offers the benefit of on-the-spot interaction for Q &A and continual clarification of learning as content is delivered and most applicable. Even if you only take the course as a recorded series, you get the benefit of the live interaction that was had and you can always ask additional questions in the private class forum.
You won’t get lost in the crowd here! Class size is kept smaller on purpose to ensure everyone in the course gets personalized attention throughout their learning process.
Not just book learning, but a rich display of the practical application of IFMNT. Susan Allen-Evenson brings a keen element of mentoring with her 28 years of clinical experience and IFMNT know-how. It’s almost like you’re in the clinic with her getting first-hand experience! One main instructor provides cohesiveness of your learning journey. Expert guest instructors round out the learning.
Through 9 modules of learning, course participants will take a deep dive into the world of Functional Nutrition, identifying root causes of health problems and addressing strategies to support renewed and optimal health. This certification course (certification optional) begins with in-depth coverage of the Nutrition Assessment process. Keeping with the comprehensive nature of this course, an array of topics are covered, for example: Nutrients/Supplements, Diet and Culinary strategies, Cognition/Brain Health, Detoxification, Gastrointestinal/Gut-Brain, CardioMetabolic, Endocrine, and of course, coverage of practice building strategies for success.
Woven in among these topics are threads of genomic application, therapeutic diets, and functional medicine labs. Case studies throughout will provide examples of practice application of assessment and individualized recommendations strategic to each unique patient.
Each module will include loads of handouts (many customizable), practice tools, access to research, and many modules will include optional further reading, as well as bonus recordings of additional content!
While, technically, modules may be taken in any order, we highly recommend you begin with module one. Progress through remaining modules in order, or as it best fits into your schedule. Once modules are recorded, registration remains open for the recorded version until another live session begins. This will allow a fast-track experience (taking more than one module at a time). Starting in 2021, two new live series will be offered yearly. Each full certification live module cycle is expected to take approximately 24 months, though fast-track options offered along the way can shorten this time considerably.
Completing all required training within 36 months is required to sit for the certification exam. A case study write-up will also be required for the successful completion of the certification process.
