The LMRC was initially launched in 2018 to fill the gap in lifestyle medicine and nutrition education in graduate medical education (GME). It is a comprehensive, applicable, and flexible curriculum, designed to be completed over a one- to three-year period, that prepares residents to make and prescribe evidence-based, lifestyle behavior interventions.
The LMRC addresses the critical gap in medical education by emphasizing the transformative power of food as medicine. Upon completion of the LMRC, residents qualify to sit for the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine (ABLM) certification exam via the Educational Pathway.
