European Advanced Specialization Course
LONGEVITY MEDICINE
Table of Contents
Foundations for professional practice.
[MDs ONLY]
The Specialization Course in Longevity Medicine is a premier training program, specifically designed for medical professionals who wish to integrate the most advanced knowledge of biology and clinical practice to promote healthy longevity into their daily practice. The goal is to qualify the professional figure of the Longevity MD Specialist by providing comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic training, focused on early diagnosis, prevention of chronic non-communicable diseases, treatment of processes related to cellular senescence, and the restoration of the patient’s biological balance and physiological capabilities.
The course is divided into two sequential and independent modules, each of which culminates in a final exam that guarantees the acquisition of training credits. Access to Module 2 (Therapies) is strictly linked to passing the Module 1 (Diagnostics) exam, thus ensuring rigorous educational progression based on solid scientific foundations.

Training Credits and Requirements
Successful completion of each module will grant students 30 education training credits (CFU/ECTS), conditional on passing each module exam, essential for professional advancement and ongoing training as a doctor.
the training credit certification platform is the one managed and administered by the ECM Office of the University of Pavia,
The sequential nature of the modules ensures that each participant has a complete diagnostic background before tackling the most advanced therapeutic strategies.
The requirements for students to enroll are as follows:
Single-Cycle Master’s Degree in Medicine and Surgery (LM-41) all disciplines
How to participate and how to deliver the course
The course will be delivered in English and in asynchronous mode using the ECM platform https://www.ecmunipv.it/
Student access is managed via personal, non-transferable credentials provided at the time of registration.
Each course includes:
- asynchronous video lesson
- presentation deck of the lesson
- exercise
At the end of each training module, students take a competences skills certification exam delivered through the platform. Successful completion of the exam allows for the issuance of a certificate of training credits.
The Longevity MD Specialist qualification requires the completion of both training modules and passing the related exams.
Without prejudice to the student’s freedom to concentrate their use of the course according to their weekly availability, the estimated duration of the two modules is as follows:
- Module 1 Diagnostics of Longevity Medicine: 56 hours in total between teaching and exams for an estimated weekly commitment of 19 weeks
- Module 2 Longevity Medicine Therapies: 44 hours in total between teaching and exams for an estimated weekly commitment of 15 weeks
- Clinic Internship Module (optional): 80 hours of clinical practice at SoLongevity Healthcenters srl facilities, for a continuous 2-week in-person commitment.
Registration fee and organizational secretariat
The registration fee for
- Module 1 “Diagnostics of Longevity Medicine” is €2,500
- Module 2 “Therapies of Longevity Medicine” is €2,500, including the “clinical internship” segment.
Registering for both modules at the same time entitles you to a 10% discount overall: instead of €5,000, the total cost is €4,500.
The payment methods are structured differently depending on the student’s training selection.
In case of enrollment of only Module 1 at a time, the following is expected:
- Payment of the balance (€2,500) before starting of the module. This will entitle you to access the training platform.
In case of simultaneous registration for both modules, the following is expected:
- Registering for both modules at the same time entitles you to a 10% discount overall: instead of €5,000, the total cost is €4,500.
- Payment of a 50% deposit (€2,250) before starting Module 1. This will entitle you to receive the access credentials to the training platform.
- Payment of the balance (€2,250) before starting of Module 2 (end September 2026). This will entitle you to receive the access credentials for the second module.
Additional 5% discount!!
The discount across both Modules is reserved for the very first enrollees of the Longevity Medicine Course — and this means: -5% on the entire course, available only to physicians who enrol during the launch period. Right now!!
Moreover, alongside the special package price for Module 1 and 2, we want to support you further: if you pay for both modules together, you will receive an additional 5% discount!

Payment certificate
Fondazione SoLongevity ETS, as a non-profit Social Promotion Association (Associazione di Promozione Sociale – APS), is not subject to VAT and therefore delivers its training courses without the obligation to issue an invoice.
In place of an invoice, the Foundation issues a payment receipt together with a payment certificate. For the purpose of documenting the expense — including any cost deduction the Participant may be entitled to claim — these documents constitute valid proof of payment.
Where payment is made by a corporate or other collective entity (e.g. a company), the paying entity must in any case specify the name of the natural person who will attend the training course.
