THE EVOLUTION OF PRIMARY CAREFor our May show, the Evolution of
Medicine is thrilled to be heading to Minnesota, MN for the first
time, the site of the largest Functional Forum meetup to date. So far
in 2017, we have focused each episode on medical specialties, where
the functional medicine operating system could be beneficial in going
upstream and solving the root causes of those disease categories.
Primary Care, however, is where we believe is the rightful place for
functional medicine not only for the best clinical outcomes, but also
for the positive economic impact for payers and patients alike. During
the episode we will not only be looking at the clinical models, but
also evolved delivery models including micropractices, membership
models and episodes of care.
Furthermore, the Evolution of Primary Care is about all different
professions coming together to serve patients on the front lines,
helping people create and maintain health. To this end, we'll be
featuring a variety of guests from across the professions set to this
evolution.
Featured in this episode are leaders in the space who are already
bringing functional medicine to the masses. First we welcome, Dr.
Thomas Sult who brings decades of experience treating tough cases.
He's on the faculty at the Institute for Functional Medicine and will
be sharing insight from his clinic "Third Opinion".
We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Kristi Hughes for her Functional Forum
debut. Dr. Hughes is one of the most popular educators with the
Institute for Functional Medicine and has a successful functional
medicine practice. She be sharing a mix of clinical and practical
pearls about operating a functional medicine practice on the front
lines.
We're also very excited to welcome Dr. Sachin Patel of the Living
Proof Institute as our other keynote speaker. Dr. Patel is running of
one of the most innovative practices functional medicine in North
America. His Living Proof Institute is expanding rapidly. Dr. Patel
has been innovating the group structure, marketing, and patient
acquisition. We're very excited to share his vison of the future of

WHY ATTEND A MEETUP?
One of the biggest frustrations we hear from practitioners who
practice the type of medicine that you do, is that you feel isolated
from the rest of their medical community who don’t “get” the
true value of what you offer. The purpose of the Functional Forum
local meetup groups is to help you to develop a community of
practitioners in your area who “get it”, to build your referral
network, add value to your practice, your community, and the movement
at large.
Anyone can tune into our Functional Forum event via livestream. What
really excites us is when our events create dialogue between
practitioners that are sharing best practices, asking tough questions,
and helping each other to create the greatest impact with their
patients and communities. It gives you the opportunity to not only
network but also, keep your finger on the pulse of what’s happening
in your own healthcare community.
