An Introductory Guide for Introducing Lifestyle Medicine in Undergraduate Medical Curriculum
This workshop is for participants interested in introducing lifestyle medicine at their institutions, as well as instructors interested in innovative approaches to active learning and in teaching whole person health care.
Lifestyle medicine is an evidence based science in which changes in lifestyle are recommended to prevent, treat and reverse the progression of chronic diseases. Lifestyle includes nutrition, activity, sleep, smoking, and other behaviors.
In this interactive workshop, participants receive: (a) an introduction to lifestyle medicine competencies, (b) examples of lifestyle medicine integration in an undergraduate medical curriculum, (c) a learner and an instructor perspective of a curriculum designed to integrate lifestyle medicine into the assessment and management of chronic diseases, and (d) an opportunity to develop a customized logic model for implementing lifestyle medicine in their institution.
