Are all Functional Medicine Providers the same? 

​

No, they are not. Not all of them are doctors, so if you aren't sure, then ask them. Further, as there is not yet a national board for functional medicine, qualifications vary. A person who has taken a weekend seminar or one who has completed a full course of years of study can both call themselves a Functional Medicine practitioner. So be sure to ask. 

​

One way to tell what their level of qualifications is is to see if they are registered with the Institute of Functional Medicine.
