IFM Certification Program® Application Form

Please complete the application below. 



Before you begin your application, please review the Application Information below and pay the application fee.

This application is only for candidates who have previously taken Hormone, Bioenergetics, GI and Environmental Health APMs and are planning to test in 2025.

As a result of changes to the program, we have discontinued the ability to formally apply to the program if you have not yet completed part of the required coursework, including the Hormone, Bioenergetics, GI, and Environmental Health APMs. Prospective candidates are still encouraged to start and/or continue on with their IFM courses regardless of when they plan to certify. You do not have to wait until the new application is developed to start your IFM coursework. You can view the full calendar of our courses offered online. As a reminder, Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice (AFMCP) and the 6 Advanced Practice Modules (APMs) will all apply to the 100-hour functional medicine education requirement for the new application and program in development. We recommend starting with those courses and completing them in the meantime as your schedule and resources allow.
