About FMF Specialist Training

FMF Specialist Training teaches professionals to deliver the scientifically validated FMF Program. It is the first step in FMF Program Training. FMF Specialist training is conducted by an FMF Trainer over six full days of virtual training, usually over the course of a few weeks. FMF Specialist Training is conducted with groups of no more than 10-12 clinicians. The peer support that occurs in small groups is ideal.
