What people are saying

Testimonials from graduates

The Heart of Medicine

Dr. Afshin Shahkoohi, MD, Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, Brooklyn, NY

"The certification course was fantastic. Dr. Thom is one of the best teachers you could ever have. He is so understandable and explains everything so well. He has expertise in so many different areas, it is unbelievable... I recommend this course for anyone who wants to get to the heart of medicine... When I came to Biological Medicine, I was first contemplating between pursuing functional medicine and other modalities. But this practice resonated in my core… Biological Medicine has something that other practices like integrative or functional medicine don’t have: a unique combination of approaches that together mean a better standard of care."
