Abstract

Lifestyle medicine (LM) offers a unique opportunity to address chronic disease globally. Practitioners are able to provide evidence-based suggestions in a way that supports behavior change. One of the barriers to implementing LM more broadly is the lack of training in this rapidly growing field. To fill this gap in LM education, the authors have created , a freely available online curricular template that can be quickly implemented in a variety of health education settings and timelines. This article provides an overview of the curriculum and a discussion of how it may be implemented.
