Membership Levels
Why Become A Member?
- To Be Listed as a Provider is Free – However, we highly encourage you to explore the benefits of becoming a member.
- Different Membership Levels – We have different membership levels for all situations. The Physician level is for physicians and surgeons. The Non-Physician level is for all other Allied Healthcare Practitioners and health coaches. For the practitioner who has retired and no longer needs to be listed, or for someone who is not in practice but just wants to support us or take part in the forums and Grand Rounds sessions and other training, there is a heavily discounted Non-Practitioner level to accommodate those folks and an In-Training level for students and those still working on their training.
- Accreditation – Your SMHP™ membership opens the door to several different pathways to accreditation as a Metabolic Health Practitioner with the right to display the MHP credential. SMHP accreditation certifies the practitioner has met the SMHP standards of training ensuring understanding and proficiency in applying diet and lifestyle practices to address metabolic health. You must be a Physician or Non-Physician member to apply for Accreditation.
- Education & Training – As a member of the SMHP you will gain access to our Grand Rounds lecture series which qualify for CME/CMHE credits. You will also be invited to participate in sporadic Townhall meetings where we will solicit your input on how we can better serve this community.
- SMHP Professional Forums – As a member of the SMHP, you will gain access to our professional forums, where practitioners will have the opportunity to discuss a wide range of topics and engage in conversations that will establish Standard of Care for therapeutic carbohydrate restriction over time.
- SMHP Grand Rounds – As a member of the SMHP, you will gain access to our regular Grand Rounds talks, where we bring in high profile speakers to present on different topics. We also bundle these talks in to modules for CME credits which you can apply for at no extra cost.
- Journal and Research Academy – The Journal of Metabolic Health (JMH) is open to the public and anyone can submit a paper for publication, but as a member, your publication fee will be covered by the SMHP. You will also be able to join the Journal club with quarterly meetings and submit to the training and coaching of the Research Academy.
- Membership badge – The official membership badge next to your SMHP listing in the provider directory conveys that you are a member of the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners (SMHP), the organization that represents all researchers and practitioners working to improve metabolic health around the world through education, training, and support of evidence-based nutritional approaches, including carbohydrate restriction, as a valid therapeutic option or intervention.
- Make a Difference – Your membership in SMHP will make a tangible difference in the way metabolic health is treated globally. Your support of the SMHP will help us as we work to establish Standard of Care (SoC) for carbohydrate restriction interventions and ensure their acceptance as a valid and effective approach to metabolic health.
