Audit: Epigenetics

Upon completing this module you receive a "Certificate of Attendance in Epigenetics." You may request to sit for the full final exam (offered in the Certification pathway) at admin@healthoptimizationmedicine.org. You must make this request within 1 week of receiving your Certificate of Attendance in Epigenetics. The requirements to sit for this final exam are the "Certificate of Attendance" and the "Certificate of Completion of the Clinical Metabolomics Module" plus a $200 fee. The regular cost of this module bundled with the examination in the Essential HOMe/HOPe course is $1200, so please consider whether the regular module or audit module best suits your goals.

Week 1 - Introduction to the Epigenetics Module
