About FMF Intervention Fidelity (IF) Training
The purpose of FMF IF Training is to support FMF Trainees in using the FMF Program in adherence to the protocol, as it was conducted in clinical trials. FMF IF Training puts what you learned in FMF Specialist Training to practice. You will work with an IF Trainer during biweekly and monthly video calls as you deliver the FMF intervention to your first client family. IF Training begins after you have completed Specialist Training and lasts approximately 6-11 months. FMF IF training is conducted in groups of no more than six clinicians, and often with the trainees with whom you attended FMF Specialist Training.
IF Training requires FMF Trainees to have at least two eligible client families available to receive the FMF Program intervention. Be sure that you have arranged your clients in advance of your FMF Program Training. See family eligibility criteria for IF Training clients below.

NOTE: FMF IF Training calls are limited in scope to supporting FMF Trainees in delivering the FMF Program with fidelity and are not aimed at providing clinical supervision. It is expected that clinical supervision will be provided by the agency of employment, or in the case of a private practitioner, according to their current need for outside consultation.
