What is the Practitioner Incubator Program?
Our Practitioner Incubator is a safe, warm, nurturing environment in which students may practice and hone their skills, for a monthly fee, in between semesters and then on an ongoing basis as they build and evolve their practice.
Membership provides the following key benefits including:
The SAFM Practitioner Forum is a unique opportunity for practitioners of all modalities, all experience levels, and all backgrounds to engage in a safe, confidential, educational environment for purposes of shared learning and professional support. Be sure to review and utilize the tools and resources available through the SAFM Practitioner Forum Resource Page (found under the Student Support area from your dashboard).
Open Coaching Calls (OCCs) are a monthly opportunity to explore a case presentation Live with Tracy. This dive into a patient case allows a thorough exploration and discussion of the application of Functional Medicine in real life cases, as well as some opportunity for Q&A. We understand that while you can obtain knowledge, what matters is whether you are competent and confident in using and applying that knowledge to successfully do this work! You will come away with many immediately applicable pearls of learning and interconnectedness.
* Be sure to submit any attendance codes you wish to apply towards one of the AFMC examination requirements.
* Upcoming OCC schedule will be available to you in the Open Coaching Call course page on your student dashboard.
A component of the Open Coaching Calls is the Key Interconnectedness Chains for the Case (KICC). These are a short list of chains of interconnectedness, unique to the presented case, that were identified and discussed during each OCC. The KICC’s also outline examples of what a successful Level 3 exam answer would look like as well as what and unsuccessful answer would look like. Be sure to review these after each Open Coaching Calls. We recommend you utilize these to guide you in your puzzle piecing practice, and recognition of the layers of interconnectedness. These will serve as a key tool in preparing for your AFMC Level 3 case study submissions.
