After seven years in the making, The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine is proud to announce that The Fellowship in Anti-Aging, Regenerative, and Functional Medicine is now qualified to extend a master’s degree program from one of the leading US medical schools. The University of South Florida College of Medicine is offering a medical science degree with a concentration in Metabolic and Nutritional Medicine. A4M felt that due to the eminent demand from physicians, an external postgraduate medical education program should be offered that provides intensive learning from experts in the field. Today healthcare is now at its most critical crossroad. The Anti-Aging Medicine specialty is transforming healthcare, one practice at a time and Anti-Aging Medicine is the fastest growing medical specialty. The new master’s degree option complete with the University of South Florida backing has reaffirmed the A4M Fellowship Program.

It is imperative for those committed to the prevention of the diseases of aging arm themselves with the proper credentials in this area of medicine. The master’s degree offered through the University of South Florida, following completion of the Fellowship program will allow physicians and practitioners to practice independently and confidently in this specialty area.

The A4M Fellowship modules do not need to be taken in numerical order and A4M will next host Module IV and VI for the Fellowship in Anti-Aging, Regenerative, and Functional Medicine, May 14-16 in Los Angeles, California USA.
