FMP Essentials Free Live Clinical Workshop

But I Think I Have Parasites

How to handle the self-diagnosing patient without losing their trust

Friday, August 21, 2026 at 3:00 PM ET. Live on Zoom. Free for prescribing clinicians.

Patients now arrive with a diagnosis, a protocol, and a screenshot

Dismissing them costs you the therapeutic relationship. Agreeing too early costs you the differential. In 60 minutes you will learn the five-move clinical approach:

Listen and validate

Take the concern seriously without confirming a diagnosis prematurely. These patients are scared and under-served, and they deserve a clinician who hears them.

Widen the differential

When to test and when to broaden. Dysbiosis and SIBO are frequently the real answer behind the symptoms patients attribute to parasites.

Choose a pragmatic path

When an empiric trial is defensible, how to reassess, and how to preserve trust while still exercising clinical judgment.
