Who are these courses for?
FAQ #1
Is this a certification in functional medicine?
Answer:
BridgeWell focuses on NP-specific clinical reasoning education rather than protocol-only training. Note: no functional medicine training credential ā€” from any program ā€” is currently not recognized as a board specialty by ANCC, AANP, or ABMS. BridgeWell Certified certificates are private credentials documenting specialized postgraduate training, in the same category as all functional medicine credentials available today.
FAQ #2
How is BridgeWell different from other functional medicine programs?
Answer:
BridgeWell is designed specifically for Nurse Practitioners and emphasizes clinical reasoning, safety, and scope-appropriate application. Rather than offering private certification or protocol-only training, BridgeWell focuses on helping NPs integrate functional concepts into conventional care models that align with licensure, employer expectations, and scope-appropriate clinical practice.
FAQ #3
What do I receive upon completion?
Answer:
Participants receive a Certificate of Completion documenting successful course participation and educational hours. This certificate may be used for professional portfolios or employer documentation, but does not represent licensure or board certification.
FAQ #4
Can I use what I learn in clinical practice?
Answer:
Learners are responsible for applying course concepts within their professional scope of practice, institutional policies, and applicable laws. BridgeWell courses are educational and designed to support clinical thinkingā€”not to replace professional judgment or regulatory guidance.
