Great coaching and self-pace videos
Great coaching and self-pace videos. I would have liked to learn more about nutrition and functions about the body in our weekly meetings. Every weekly class was the same...coaching, coaching and more coaching. Was not happy to learn my tuition was not tax deductible.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Susan! We’re glad you enjoyed the coaching support and the videos in our self-paced educational content. Our program intentionally places a strong emphasis on developing coaching skills in our weekly meetings (Live Coaching Labs, formerly Live Training Sessions) to both meet NBHWC requirements and to make sure the FMCA graduates are uniquely prepared to be fantastic coaches supporting clients no matter their goals or challenges. We also offer live Functional Medicine training and discussion through our Ask the Expert series and Ask the Functional Medicine Faculty series, and hope you were able to take advantage of those during your time in the program. We appreciate hearing your perspective about wanting more discussion of nutrition and physiology during the live sessions, and feedback like yours helps us continue refining the learning experience. While the IRS determines tax deduction status for training programs, we do encourage all students and graduates to consult tax professionals when eligibility questions arise either as a student or a practicing health coach. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and for being part of the FMCA community. In Health, The FMCA Team
