Missed AIC 2020? Lectures Available On Demand
If you missed IFM’s Annual International Conference (AIC) 2020, you can still view the entire conference or choose from four a la carte, topic-focused session bundles.
At AIC 2020, expert clinicians and speakers presented the latest clinical research with implications for decreasing the risk and severity of chronic disease and infectious illness. AIC 2020 explored the Functional Medicine approach to delivering safe, valid, and effective interventions designed to prevent system imbalances and restore health status. Topics addressed include areas of health with the greatest influence on immune resilience, aimed at improving the health outcomes of patients during the pandemic and beyond.
