Bootcamp Details

What You Will Learn in This Course

Implementing functional medicine concepts within a conventional practice can be challenging, and practitioners who do so often face significant resistance from colleagues, with some even encountering sanctions for deviating from the “standard of care.” This course aims to support clinicians in integrating functional medicine approaches effectively within traditional practice settings.

The course covers essential primary care laboratory testing for autoimmune and complex chronic diseases, approached through a functional medicine lens. It also includes instruction on conducting a nutrition-focused physical exam to identify potential nutrient insufficiencies and toxicities contributing to patient symptoms. Clinicians will learn to use diagnostic codes from these exams to obtain comprehensive lab data that informs personalized nutritional and detoxification strategies, providing practical steps to introduce functional medicine concepts into patient care.

Maintaining strong relationships with conventional colleagues is crucial to mitigating the risk of complaints and ensuring alignment with healthcare systems and licensing boards. This course will review strategies to strengthen collaboration, demonstrate the value of functional medicine in treating complex cases, and build a network of referrals from conventional practitioners.

Sadly no. There are many rules associated with CME credits that prevent us from teaching about actionable products (like protocols, tests and more) that are a core part of our live classes and bootcamps. Our education is designed to level up practitioners and give you actionable tools to quickly become more successful.

Will you have access to the presentations and materials after the bootcamp?

Yes! You will have access to all of the presentations and materials associated with a bootcamp for up to 12 months after the start date.

Can I get a refund?

We want to make sure you're getting the most out of your bootcamp experience! Our prices reflect the high-quality educational content provided in each course. Just a friendly reminder that coupons are supplemental to the education and hold no cash value. For this reason, we are not able to re-issue expired coupons.

Our Rupa University bootcamps are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged for another. We know that things come up (life happens!), so if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at university@rupahealth.com. We're always here to help! 💙

When is the deadline for signing up?

You are welcome to sign up all the way until the day the bootcamp begins.

Are patients/clients allowed to take these bootcamps?

Sadly no, the Rupa University bootcamps are for healthcare practitioners only.

I don’t have a NPI number, can I still join the bootcamp or live class?

Yes! Practitioners can still attend a bootcamp or live class no matter your license type or NPI number. You can also sign-up for Rupa's Physician Services to use the coupon for all bootcamps. Certain restrictions apply for residents of NY, NJ, and RI. Please refer to the specific details for each test in Rupa's Lab Test Catalog.

I don’t live in the United States, can I still join a bootcamp or live class?

Yes you can still join a bootcamp or live class no matter what country you are from as a healthcare practitioner! You won’t be able to use the coupon or discount, but you can still attend the class. Unfortunately, there is not a price reduction if you can not use the coupon.

Do you cover exact protocols as part of your bootcamps?

Protocols are often (but not always) discussed in our bootcamps. A core part of lifestyle medicine is treating the individual, having a “standard protocol” is not always the right approach but can often be a useful starting point for learning about a disease or condition. Both functional and conventional approaches will be covered such as supplements and medications commonly in use.

What is the difference between a “ free live class” and the bootcamps?

The live classes are a free hour long weekly webinar you can sign up for as a practitioner on the Rupa platform. They are generally quick introductions to a lab, topic, health concern, or research by an expert that varies every week.

The bootcamp is a paid 4-6 week in-depth training that involve pre-recorded videos and live Q&A sessions to help you understand a particular topic and test much more in-depth from a practical and tactical point of view.

Are other discount codes available I can use for being part of a group or organization?

At this time, there are not additional discount codes that can be used outside of the Rupa University Bootcamp test code for qualified practitioners to use on themself.
