GHA LONGEVITY MEDICINE CERTIFICATION FOR CLINICIANS

Credentials for the
clinicians who deliver longevity medicine.

Two certifications from Global Healthcare Accreditation®. The GHA Certified Longevity Practitioner™ trains the whole clinical team. The GHA Certified Longevity Physician™ trains the physicians who lead it.

GHA CERTIFIED LONGEVITY PRACTITIONER™ →GHA CERTIFIED LONGEVITY PHYSICIAN™
In brief

What are the GHA Certified Longevity Practitioner™ and the GHA Certified Longevity Physician™?

They are two online educational certifications in longevity medicine issued by Global Healthcare Accreditation, an independent healthcare accreditation body. The GHA Certified Longevity Practitioner™ is open to the whole clinical team and takes about 17 hours across 29 video modules. The GHA Certified Longevity Physician™ is for licensed physicians and adds 15 physician modules, about 26 hours in total. Both end in an online examination. Neither is a license or a medical specialty board certification.
WHY IT MATTERS

"Longevity doctor" is not a protected title.

The registry is connected to accreditation through GHA’s Healthy Longevity Medicine Standard, GHA's evolving accreditation framework for longevity medicine, which classifies diagnostics and interventions by strength of evidence. The registry records care against those same classifications, so findings can be read alongside the standards.

Findings are reviewed by the scientific committee and may inform future standards through GHA's established standards development process. They do not change standards automatically.

How they fit together

One core curriculum, two levels.

Every clinician learns the same core, so the whole team works from the same evidence and the same boundaries. Physicians then go further.
1.

The core: GHA Certified Longevity Practitioner™

29 modules for every member of the clinical team, physicians included. The science of longevity; compliance, ethics and scope; and diagnostics, protocols and practice. Pass the core examination to earn the credential.
2.

The physician level: GHA Certified Longevity Physician™

15 further modules for licensed physicians only, covering clinical decision-making, prescribing, hormone therapy, gerotherapeutics, regenerative therapy governance and leading the clinical team. Pass the physician examination to earn the credential.
how is this different

How do these certifications differ from other longevity programs?

The whole team, not physicians alone

Many longevity medicine credentials are for physicians only. These train the entire clinical team on one curriculum, with defined scope for each role, and add a physician level on top.

An independent issuer

They are issued by an accreditation body that sells no tests, therapies, supplements or devices.

Evidence labeled honestly

Clinicians learn to classify every test and therapy as established, emerging or experimental, and to explain those limits to patients.

Fully online

About 17 hours for the core and about 26 hours for physicians, self-paced, with no travel or live sessions.

Both credentials train clinicians to tell patients how strong
the evidence is for each test and therapy, and where it falls short

For clinics, hospitals and health systems

Certify the whole team.

Enroll physicians and staff together. Physicians follow the GHA Certified Longevity Physician™ program and everyone else follows the GHA Certified Longevity Practitioner™ program, so the team shares one core curriculum.

One shared standard

Nurses, coordinators and physicians learn the same evidence framework and the same boundaries of scope.

Defined scope for every role

Staff learn what they can say about tests and therapies, and when a question belongs with a physician.

A visible credential

Certified clinicians can display their GHA seal and be listed in the GHA Professional Directory.

Fits with GHA accreditation

Organizations working toward GHA Longevity Medicine Accreditation™ can train staff on the same principles. Accreditation is assessed separately.

Clear terms

One core curriculum, two levels.

What these credentials are, and what they are not.

It is an educational certification.

Holders have completed a defined curriculum in longevity medicine and passed the examinations set by Global Healthcare Accreditation.

It is not a license.

It does not grant a license to practice, prescribing authority, or any clinical privilege. Every holder works within their own license and the law where they practice.

It is not a medical specialty board certification.

It is not issued by, or affiliated with, any medical specialty board, and it does not replace board certification or hospital credentialing.

It does not expand scope of practice.

A nurse, coordinator or allied professional who holds the credential has the same scope of practice as before. The credential adds knowledge, not authority.

It does not endorse treatments.

Certification does not mean any test, therapy, supplement or product is proven to work. The training teaches clinicians how to judge evidence and explain its limits.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the two credentials?

The GHA Certified Longevity Practitioner™ is for the whole clinical team: 29 modules, about 17 hours. The GHA Certified Longevity Physician™ is for licensed physicians only: the same 29 modules plus 15 physician modules on clinical decision-making, prescribing and medical leadership, about 26 hours in total.

Is this a board certification?

No. The GHA Certified Longevity Practitioner™ and the GHA Certified Longevity Physician™ are educational certifications issued by Global Healthcare Accreditation. They are not medical specialty board certifications, and they are not affiliated with any specialty board.

Is longevity medicine a recognized medical specialty?

Not in the United States. Longevity medicine is not one of the specialties recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties. Credentials in this field, including these from GHA, are educational certifications.

Does certification mean GHA endorses the treatments I offer?

No. GHA does not certify that any test, therapy, supplement or product works. The training teaches clinicians how to classify evidence as established, emerging or experimental, and how to explain those limits honestly to patients.

Is the course online?

Yes. It is fully online and self-paced, in video modules of about 35 minutes that you can watch on a computer, tablet or phone. There are no live sessions to attend and no travel. At three modules a week, the 29-module core takes about 10 weeks.

Can our clinic enroll the whole team?

Yes. Clinics, hospitals and health systems can enroll physicians and staff together. Physicians follow the GHA Certified Longevity Physician™ program and the rest of the team follows the GHA Certified Longevity Practitioner™ program, so everyone learns the same core. Email GHA for team pricing.

How does this relate to GHA Longevity Medicine Accreditation™?

They are separate. GHA Longevity Medicine Accreditation™ evaluates an organization. These certifications recognize individual clinicians. A clinic does not need to be accredited for its staff to enroll, and certifying staff does not accredit a clinic or affect an accreditation decision. Many organizations will choose both.
