Sonja
O’Bryan, Pharm.D., received her Bachelor’s degree from St. Louis College of
Pharmacy and her Doctorate from the University of Arkansas for Medical
Sciences. She also is a Board Certified
Healthcare Diplomate, with the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine and uses
natural, complimentary, pharmaceutical, and integrative approaches in her
expertise with patients and their personal needs. Use natural when possible and pharmaceutical ONLY when necessary
is a position statement that she follows in her approach to patient care. The American
Board of Anti-Aging Health Practitioners was founded in 1999 to provide
advanced education, representation, and specialty recognition of scientific and
healthcare professionals. The long-term objective of ABAAHP is to achieve
formal sub-specialty recognition and a new status for Anti-Aging medicine and
for those practicing it as qualified clinicians. Together, the A4M and ABAAHP
represent over 26,000 physicians, scientific and healthcare practitioners from
120+ nations. The process involves a written examination, which demonstrates
proficiency in several key areas of Anti-Aging medicine. Along with proved
competency by examination, the candidate must also provide documentation of 150
hours over 8 years of applicable continuing education to the field of
anti-aging medicine, medical licenses and obtained degrees, and curriculum
vitae showing professional experiences in customized, integrative,
complimentary, and regenerative clinical care. After passing the written exam
and completion of certification criteria, a certificate is issued to the
healthcare practitioner confirming their status as a Diplomate of Anti-Aging
Medicine.
