Professional Certification
The Meletis Method Functional Health Professional Certification
A comprehensive 12-month professional certification in Dr. Chris Meletis's whole-person functional health methodology, designed for an interdisciplinary audience of health professionals.
Meletis Method Certified Functional Health Professional (MM-CFHP)
The MM-CFHP credential recognizes successful completion of Dr. Chris Meletis's comprehensive 12-month Functional Health Professional Certification. It is a private educational credential issued by The Meletis Method. It does not grant a healthcare license or expand the graduate's legal scope of practice.
Earning the credential: every learner who completes the full 12-month program and satisfies all certification requirements earns the same MM-CFHP educational credential, regardless of profession or licensure.
Applying the education: a graduate may use the MM-CFHP credential only within their own lawful scope — consistent with their existing education, license, certification, profession, and jurisdiction. The credential itself grants no clinical authority.
