About the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine

As a federally registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization, the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) is the world’s largest non-profit scientific society of physicians and scientists dedicated to the advancement of technology to detect, prevent, and treat aging related disease and to promote research into methods to retard and optimize the human aging process.

A4M offers exclusive membership to all medical professionals where they gain access to over two-decades of established medical expertise.  We are also dedicated to educating physician and scientists and are proud to be in our 21^st year of providing first-class continuing education conferences on anti-aging issues, regenerative and functional medicine.

To further demonstrate our commitment to the future of medicine, the shared responsibility for patient outcomes and transforming health education through innovation, we offer Board Certifications and Fellowship Training Programs in various disciplines ranging from anti-aging, regenerative and functional medicine to such disciplines as aesthetic medicine, skin cancer and stem cell therapy, in order to lead the industry by establishing best practice standards in these areas.

Each Fall, the color pink can be seen more often than usual; t-shirts, ribbons, hats, athletic equipment, and even hair. It’s no secret that Breast Cancer is a serious problem affecting thousands of women and their families every single day. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, observed by thousands of organizations and individuals all over the United States; and that awareness is indicated by the color pink.

During the month of October, the goal is to increase awareness of this disease and to encourage people to undergo medical examinations in hope of early detection. NationalBreastCancer.org states that early detection results in 98% survival rate. Monthly self-exams, regular clinical exams and mammograms can help with early detection and prevention.

According to the website for the Susan G. Komen organization, there will be 232,340 new cases of invasive breast cancer and 39,620 breast cancer deaths in 2013. Even though mostly women are affected by breast cancer, men can be victims as well. In 2013, there will be 2,240 new cases of invasive breast cancer and 410 deaths in men.

Although most breast cancer deaths occur in women over the age of 50, breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among women ages 20-59 which makes early detection that much more important.

During the entire month of October various organizations and communities will be holding fundraisers, walks, and other events to raise money for breast cancer research. Other organizations, hospitals and doctor’s offices will be encouraging patients to get a mammogram and breast examination. From the NFL to minivans with pink ribbon bumper stickers, thousands of Americans are participating in the fight against breast cancer.

The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) offers a Fellowship in Integrative Cancer Therapies where medical professionals, regardless of specialty, can enroll in this innovative program. Participants learn cutting-edge therapies, how to better and elongate the lives of cancer patients, case histories, and much more. For more information, visit www.a4m.com.

A4M will travel to the UAE this fall to present local physicians with the opportunity to learn from American medical professionals

The first weekend in November 2013, the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) will bring medical experts and the latest information and research on preventive Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine from the United States to Dubai’s H Hotel. This conference will mark the first event conducted under the auspices of A4M FZ-LLC which was successfully registered in Dubai in September 2013.  The formation of this new International arm is set to introduce American expertise and standards in the field of preventive, regenerative and functional medicine in Dubai.

The conference will include Fellowship in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine (FAARM) Clinical Intensives Module V, pre- conference workshops, sexual health workshop, American Board of Anti-Aging Regenerative Medicine (ABAARM) written and oral certification exams as well as American Board of Anti-Aging Health Practitioners (ABAAHP) written certification exams.

Speakers include Lena Edwards, MD, FAARM; Jennifer Landa, MD, OB/GYN, FAARM; Jack Monaco, MD, FAARM; and Pam Smith, MD, MS, MPH. The speakers were selected for their expertise and clinical experience in the field of Anti-Aging Medicine, most of whom are authors and have been featured on US TV shows such as The Dr. Oz Show.  The focus of this year’s event will provide attendees with as much clinical support and resources as possible in order to begin treatment with their patients.  Topics covered will consist of fatigue, weight gain, BHRT in men and women, stress, sex hormone imbalances, thyroid and adrenal dysfunction, insulin resistance, diabetes, gut health, and female and male sexual dysfunction, among others.

“Having this conference in Dubai will introduce local doctors to American expertise on disease prevention prevalent in this part of the world,” stated A4M’s International Project Manager Servane Collette.

Additionally, there will be a pre-conference workshop presented on November 1^st to introduce clinical cases and feature live patient consultations for maximum impact.  An evening session will also be offered on female and male sexual dysfunction, a rare but nonetheless fundamental topic within Anti-Aging Medicine.

This year’s conference is unique as vendors and exhibitors will be present including a compounding pharmacy that specializes in anti-aging formulations and a testing lab that offers various anti-aging related diagnostic evaluations, which will allow attendees to meet key suppliers for the first time.  Finally, an exclusive media partnership with NEW YOU magazine, the leading publication in anti-aging news in the region, also guarantees that the valuable information associated with this event will help engage readers and illustrate the benefits that the field of Anti-Aging Medicine has to offer.  For more information, call 1.888.997.0112, or visit www.a4m.com.
