The Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) has released its 2024 Impact Report, highlighting a year marked by meaningful growth, expanded access and transformative partnerships that are shaping the future of functional medicine.

“IFM’s achievements in 2024 reflect more than just numbers—they represent lives changed, systems improved, and a growing global movement toward personalized, root-cause care,” said Amy R. Mack, MSES/MPA, CEO of IFM. “Each milestone—from courses offered and practitioners certified to tools and resources created and partnerships formed—reflects the passion and dedication of our functional medicine community, who are transforming what healthcare can and should be.”

Key Highlights From the 2024 IFM Impact Report:

• Trained more than 15,000 clinicians in functional medicine—a 9 percent increase from 2023—bringing the total to more than 94,500 health care professionals educated since 1991.
• Certified 280 practitioners in functional medicine, raising the total number of certifications since 2013 to more than 2,500 practitioners.
• Offered nearly $919,000 in program scholarships, discounts and tuition assistance, with more than $107,000 in scholarships awarded to improve the quality of care provided to underserved populations.
• Partnered with more than 35 organizations, including academic institutions, health systems, and international and industry partners.
• Spearheaded the first peer-reviewed publication to show cost savings in functional medicine care compared to conventional care within a third-party payor mode.

These milestones, among others listed in the 2024 Impact Report, position IFM for even greater impact in 2025. IFM supports a future where patients and practitioners work together address the root causes of disease and dysfunction to promote optimal health and well-being for all.
