Training Path To Testosteronologist® Certification

The Testosteronology® Certification Program is a structured training and certification pathway for licensed healthcare professionals who prescribe testosterone and related therapies.

A Certified Testosteronologist® is a licensed medical professional trained under Dr. Thomas O’Connor’s Testosteronology® program to deliver the highest standard of care in:

• Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)
• Anabolic steroid–induced hypogonadism (ASIH)
• Cardiometabolic and sexual health related to androgen use
• Anabolic Recovery Medicine® (ARM®) and harm-reduction strategies

Certification is supported by the Testosteronology Society™, the Testosteronology® App and Testosteronology Society™ website, and a worldwide network of providers who share clinical cases, guidelines, and ongoing education.

This program is intended for healthcare professionals who:

• Have an active, unrestricted medical license
• Already have legal authority to prescribe testosterone in their jurisdiction
• Are actively treating (or want to treat) patients on TRT, androgens, and related therapies

Typical eligible roles include:

• MD / DO
• NP / APRN
• PA
• USA and International equivalents with TRT prescribing authority

The program is designed specifically for providers who want a formal sub-specialty focus in Testosteronology® within internal medicine, primary care, endocrinology, men’s health, women’s health, or sports medicine.

Step-by-Step Pathway to Becoming a Certified Testosteronologist®

◉  Step 1 – Confirm Eligibility and Prescribing Authority

Before enrolling, ensure that you:

• Hold an active, unrestricted license in good standing
• Have legal authority to prescribe testosterone and related medications in your state, province, or country
• Disclose any past malpractice claims

This certification is intended for clinicians already positioned to prescribe testosterone safely and ethically.

◉  Step 2 – Pay and Subscribe To Your Choice of Membership

Payment links are on the Membership page.

Once your payment is accepted:

• We will send you an invitation by email to the members-only area of this website. 
• You will need to confirm the invitation and set up your password.

Please look for this email to activate your account. Sometimes it may land in your spam folder.

◉  Step 3 – Submit Your Professional Profile

You will be emailed directions to fill out a Member Profile form so you can be listed as a provider after certification

This profile will be used for the “Find a Provider” directory on the Testosteronology.com website and related patient-facing tools (including within the Testosteronology® app).

◉  Step 4 – Pre-Interview / Orientation

In keeping with other medical certification programs, you may be scheduled for a brief pre-interview  orientation with a member of the certification team. This may be done via phone or video call and is used to:

• Clarify your background and goals
• Review expectations for coursework and live sessions
• Confirm your prescribing authority and clinical context
• Answer all your questions about participating in the Society

◉  Step 5 – Start the 7-Module Testosteronologist® Certification Course

You’ll start and proceed through the seven core modules of the Testosteronologist® Certification Course.

Each module may include video lectures, readings, and practical tools you can apply directly to your existing patient population.

◉  Step 6 – Attend Live Online Testosteronologists® Meetings

Live interaction is a major part of the training model. As a participant, you’ll typically have access to:

• Testosteronologist®-only video meetings led by Dr. O’Connor or other Testosteronologists®
• Group case discussions with other certified or aspiring Testosteronologists®
• Practice-management discussions (clinic growth, workflow, patient communication, etc.)
• Ongoing Q&A and topic presentations from experienced providers

These live sessions function similarly to case conferences or grand rounds in other medical sub-specialties and help you integrate the material more deeply into everyday decision-making.

◉  Step 7 – Engage Deeply With Society Members-Only Content

Consume the extensive videos, documents, articles and other Society content from the members-only area and other sections on the Testosteronology Society™ website.

◉  Step 8 – Certification, Directory Listing, and Use of Marks

Upon successful completion of all requirements including the course and approval by the certification committee:

• You are recognized as a Certified Testosteronologist®
• You will receive a certificate acknowledging your status to display in your clinic

Details and assets are available in the Marketing Kit page of the Members-Only area for your promotion.  

◉  Step 9 – Maintain Certification and Ongoing Involvement

Like other medical certification programs, the Testosteronology Society™ emphasizes ongoing continuing education and engagement. To maintain your status in good standing, you are typically expected to:

• Maintain an active membership with the Society 
• Participate regularly in live meetings, topic discussions, or other educational activities
• Continue to engage with the training library (including updates and new content)
• Integrate updated guidelines into your practice as they evolve
• Adhere to the Society’s code of ethics and professional standards
