Building a Career in Functional Medicine and Ancestral Health

The path from where you are now (student, conventional medicine practitioner, allied health professional) to a career in functional medicine is not always clear cut. Or maybe you’re not yet a healthcare practitioner but you’re eager to enter the field and make a difference. Which path should you take? I’ll be addressing these questions in a free, upcoming webinar on building a career in the fields of functional medicine and ancestral health and nutrition.

"I have been practicing functional medicine for about 12 years. [Still,] I struggled putting systems into place and having clear treatment plans for my patients. I was often confused about where to start, what testing to order, and how to follow a patient through the whole process until they got better. The ADAPT program has completely changed the way I practice. I now have an order to my visits — everything from intakes through to treatment. I have learned so much and feel so much more confident in my work." Eliza Klearman, ND, LAcEagle, CO

"I knew that I wanted to begin to incorporate functional medicine into my practice, but wasn’t sure where to start [and wasn’t] confident in my knowledge base. The Kresser Institute gave me the tools I needed. I gained both knowledge and confidence. I learned what lab tests to order and how to interpret them as well as targeted treatment strategies to help my patients regain their health. I also benefited from the practice management side of the course as I learned procedures that helped the business end of my practice to run more smoothly." Karen Joseph, DCAston, Pennsylvania
