IFM's Find A Practitioner tool is the largest referral network in functional medicine, created to help patients locate functional medicine practitioners anywhere in the world. IFM Certified Practitioners are listed first in the search results, given their extensive education in functional medicine. All practitioners in the network have attended IFM’s foundational course, Applying Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice™ (AFMCP), and are also current IFM members. 

Naturopathic doctors are educated and trained in accredited naturopathic medical colleges. They diagnose, prevent, and treat acute and chronic illness to restore and establish optimal health by supporting the person's inherent self-healing process. Rather than just suppressing symptoms, naturopathic doctors work to  identify underlying causes of illness, and develop personalized treatment plans to address them.
