and Medical Weight Management
Celebrating 20 Years of Excellence in Botox®, Aesthetic Medicine & Medical Weight Management Training & Certification
The Certified Medical Weight Management Provider™ (CWMP) program is the only annual certification in GLP-1s, semaglutide, tirzepatide, liraglutide, and medically supervised weight management — designed to help you build a profitable, patient-centered weight loss program that keeps your patients coming back to you.
Solo Provider from $995 | Clinic Edition from $2,995 | Includes the Clean Start Weight Loss® program
7-day money-back guarantee | Online, self-paced | Unlimited access while certified
Offer the Clean Start Weight Loss® program as your branded, physician-delivered patient solution — something no platform can replicate.
Integrate a medically supervised weight management program into your existing practice or launch a standalone clinic.
Apply evidence-based dosing and titration protocols for semaglutide, tirzepatide, liraglutide, and peptides from day one.
GLP-1 guidelines, drug approvals, and dosing protocols are changing faster than any other area of medicine. Your annual renewal keeps you ahead.
Active CWMP™ designees in good standing are listed in the public provider directory, helping patients find a qualified, certified provider near them.
Achieve and maintain your Certified Medical Weight Management Provider™ status with annual recertification.
Large-scale weight loss platforms can offer convenience and low prices. What they cannot offer is the relationship. They cannot offer the physician who has known a patient for years, who understands their history, their hesitations, and what has not worked before. They cannot offer the continuity of seeing the same provider at every visit, or the individualized attention that turns a prescription into a real outcome.
Independent physicians and clinic owners are uniquely positioned to deliver medically supervised GLP-1 weight loss in a way that prioritizes the patient — not the platform. Your patients already trust you with their health. The CWMP™ certification gives you the clinical foundation, the business tools, and the patient program to make weight management a natural extension of the care you already provide.
Same physician, every visit. No handoffs, no strangers.
Protocols tailored to the patient, not a one-size algorithm.
Your patients chose you. Give them a reason to stay for weight loss too.
Take this online certification, attend in-person or add hands-on Botox® Training.
Four things you won’t find in any other weight management training program.
The CWMP™ is the only annual certification in medical weight management available exclusively from the IAPAM. Annual recertification means your training is always current — not a snapshot of what was true three years ago.
Every CWMP™ enrollee gets access to the Clean Start Weight Loss® Ketogenic/Intermittent Fasting program — a complete, physician-delivered patient program with guidebooks, protocols, and an online patient course. This is your branded differentiator.
The Business of Weight Loss module covers practice integration, staffing, marketing, pricing, and social media — so you're not just clinically prepared, you're operationally ready to launch.
The Clinic Edition covers up to 5 providers, so your whole team can deliver consistent, certified care — and every eligible provider gets their own CWMP™ designation.
Every module included in the CWMP™ program. Courses are updated regularly as guidelines and approvals evolve.
Available with YOUR CWMP™ enrollment
Most patients who try the ketogenic diet on their own fail — not because the approach doesn't work, but because they're following generic advice that wasn't designed for them. The Clean Start Weight Loss® program gives you a carefully formulated, medically supervised combination of ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting — with physician-guided protocols, patient guidebooks, and an online patient course.
This is your branded program. Your patients follow it under your care — not through a third-party platform. Learn more at cleanstartweightloss.com.

Launch faster with ready-made patient materials
Building a medically supervised weight loss program from scratch takes time you don't have. The IAPAM's Clean Start Weight Loss® patient guidebooks give your patients a clear, physician-approved roadmap for their GLP-1 and ketogenic/intermittent fasting program — reducing the questions you field at every visit and reinforcing that this is a structured, well-designed program, not just a prescription.
Available in English and Spanish. When patients hold a professional guidebook with your program's name on it, they feel the difference between a thoughtful, physician-led program and a generic online service.
🆕 First-Time Buyer Offer

GLP-1 guidelines, drug approvals, dosing protocols, and FDA decisions are changing faster than any other area of medicine right now. A certification you earned three years ago may not reflect what's true today. The CWMP™ auto-renewing option ensures your training — and your designation — stays current automatically. Your $597/yr renewal (Solo) or $2,297/yr renewal (Clinic Edition) includes all course updates as the field evolves, so you're never caught behind.
Both options include the full CWMP™ certification. Choose auto-renewing to keep your certification and training current, or one-year-only if you prefer a single payment.
