IFM's 2025 Gastrointestinal (GI) Functional Medicine Advanced Practice Modules® (APM)

In functional medicine, the GI tract is often an important starting point for improving overall health. IFM's GI Functional Medicine Advanced Practice Module® (APM) investigates the multifaceted gut microbiome, looking upstream to how several factors, including diet, lifestyle, and environmental stressors contribute to chronic dysbiosis and inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. This module takes a whole systems approach to evaluating and treating not only local gastrointestinal disease, but many systemic diseases that are linked to GI dysfunction. Our expert educators will discuss the important laboratory evaluations to be considered, the appropriate clinical connections that must be made, and the treatment approaches that support restoration of function.

The GI APM is a six-week online course with on-demand lectures and live Q&A sessions with educators. Learners can access course materials and review presentations when it is most convenient for them. This format expands access to functional medicine education, allowing practitioners to balance the demands of their practice and their training.

Instructions to access course materials and lectures will be provided in your IFM.org account.
