Who’s Eligible to Certify
The CWMP certification is open to a wide range of licensed medical professionals. Support staff may participate when sponsored by a supervising provider.
*PharmDs may require a collaborating or supervising physician. Always check your local governing board to confirm scope of practice before enrolling.
Built to Fit Your Specialty
Clean Start Weight Loss® integrates into a wide range of practice types — each gains something different from offering a structured GLP-1 program.
Plastic Surgery
Optimize patients pre-op for better surgical outcomes, faster recovery, and fewer complications. Improves liposuction and body contouring results.
Med Spas & Aesthetics
Expand beyond Botox and fillers. GLP-1 weight loss naturally complements aesthetic services and increases lifetime patient value.
Family & Primary Care
Address the leading driver of chronic disease in your patient panel — obesity — with a structured, cash-pay program your patients are already asking for.
Dental Practices
Newly eligible for CWMP. Add a non-dental cash service that complements your existing patient base and diversifies revenue.
Get Certified in 3 Steps
Most providers complete certification in 7–10 hours of self-study and can start seeing patients within a week or two of finishing.
Sign Up & Train
Self-paced modules in the IAPAM Learning Lab. Cover GLP-1s, drug therapy, MIC/B-complex, IV nutrition, Keto/IF, and the business of weight loss.
Pass Your Assessment
Take the certification assessment online. Pass and earn your Certified Medical Weight Management Provider™ designation and up to 6 CMEs.
Launch & See Patients

Frequently Asked Questions
For most of the program (GLP-1 prescriptions, drug therapy), yes — you need to be a US-based prescriber (MD, DO, NP, PA, DDS, NMD, PharmD with collaborating physician). However, the Keto/IF nutritional protocol component can be offered by support staff under the supervision of a sponsoring prescriber. Always check your local governing board to confirm scope of practice.
The full CWMP training is self-paced and typically takes 7–10 hours to complete. You have 12 months of unlimited access to review the material as often as you’d like. Most providers can complete it over a long weekend or a few evenings.
Most providers can launch the program within 1–2 weeks of completing certification. You’ll need to add the service to your website, order patient guidebooks, and let your patients know — but the clinical protocols, intake forms, and consultation scripts are all included in the program.
No. Clean Start Weight Loss® is explicitly designed as the turnkey alternative to a franchise. There are no franchise fees, no royalties, and no restrictions on how you run your practice. You pay for certification (annually) and for any patient materials you choose to order — that’s it.
IAPAM cites a range of $100,000–$900,000 per year depending on patient volume (roughly 10–80 patients per month). Over the program’s history, providers in the network have collectively generated more than $23M in revenue. Actual results depend on your local market, pricing, and marketing — your Program Advisor can walk you through the financial model.
Clean Start Weight Loss® is designed as a cash-pay program. This gives you full clinical control — no insurance restrictions on dosing, duration, or which patients qualify. Many patients are willing to pay out of pocket given the structured support and maintenance plan, especially compared to telehealth-only GLP-1 services.
No — but most providers do. Printed guidebooks save you significant time answering routine patient questions and dramatically improve patient compliance. The CWMP Practice Edition includes 25 books in the bundle. You can also order books separately at $269 per 10 guidebooks (English or Spanish), with shipping included for IAPAM members.
If you have existing medical weight loss training, you can skip the CWMP certification and go straight to a Quick Start Practice Package (Concierge or Brick & Mortar). That gets you the patient materials, marketing kit, and implementation playbook without re-doing the clinical training.
