CIRS Lab's Practitioner Membership is a professional community for clinicians treating Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), a condition tied to biotoxin exposure that's frequently misdiagnosed as chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, an autoimmune disorder, or a neurological condition. Led by co-founder Christian Navarro-Torres, Ph.D., the membership gives existing CIRS practitioners, newly certified graduates of the Surviving Mold Shoemaker Protocol Certification, and Proficiency Partner program graduates a place to keep developing their understanding of the Shoemaker Protocol after certification ends.

Rather than duplicating certification coursework, the membership focuses on scholarly exchange of ideas, workshops, and group calls that keep practitioners current on CIRS research and case complexity. Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker, the protocol's developer, has said he recommends every CIRS practitioner and Shoemaker Proficiency Partner join to keep building a nuanced understanding of the protocol. Healthcare professionals who are curious about CIRS or considering certification are also welcome to join and learn alongside practicing members.
