FEDERAL WAY，Wash。，2023年10月24日（GLOBE NEWSWIRE）-功能医学研究所（IFM）和功能医学辅导学院（FMCA）感谢VoLo Foundation的慷慨资助。这项赠款为从业人员和健康教练投资奖学金和教育机会，并通过扩大获得根本原因的功能性医疗保健方法来帮助推进健康公平。

As a trusted and experienced medical education provider that has been continuously accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) since 2001, IFM is the leading voice for functional medicine and trains healthcare providers in a root cause, whole health approach that prioritizes evidence-based lifestyle interventions.

作为一家值得信赖且经验丰富的医学教育提供商，自2001年以来一直获得持续医学教育认证委员会（ACCME）的认可，IFM是功能医学的领先声音，并以根本原因，整体健康的方式培训医疗服务提供者优先考虑基于证据的生活方式干预措施。

In 2021, IFM launched its annual scholarship program, Functional Medicine for All (FM4All), to help foster a diverse, equitable, and inclusive field of functional medicine. This scholarship is intended for clinicians around the globe who are beginning their functional medicine education and are currently working with historically medically underserved communities.

2021年，IFM推出了年度奖学金计划“全民功能医学”（FM4All），以帮助培养多样化，公平和包容的功能医学领域。该奖学金旨在为全球临床医生提供功能医学教育，目前正在与历史上医疗服务不足的社区合作。

With this grant, IFM will increase the number of scholarships awarded through FM4All. “Interprofessional collaboration is critical to ensuring a whole health approach to care,” states IFM Chief Executive Officer, Amy R. Mack, MSES/MPA. “In support of this work, IFM and FMCA will also establish discussion sessions with scholarship winners to facilitate knowledge exchange and community-building among recipients.” Adopting healthier lifestyle habits is notoriously challenging, and this challenge is amplified for people experiencing inequities across the social determinants of health.

有了这些资助，IFM将增加通过FM4All授予的奖学金数量。IFM首席执行官Amy R.Mack（MSES/MPA）表示：“跨专业合作对于确保全面的医疗保健方法至关重要。“为了支持这项工作，IFM和FMCA还将与奖学金获得者建立讨论会，以促进接受者之间的知识交流和社区建设。”采用更健康的生活习惯是众所周知的挑战，对于在社会上经历不平等的人来说，这一挑战得到了放大。健康的决定因素。
