Free CME/CE Opportunity for Minnesota Clinicians and Staff
Lifestyle Medicine & Food As Medicine CME/CE Course Bundle
Advocates for Better Health proudly offers a unique and free CME/CE opportunity from the American College of Lifestyle Medicine to Minnesota clinicians and staff.
Lifestyle medicine can address up to 80% of chronic diseases. A lifestyle medicine approach to population care has the potential to arrest the decades-long rise in the prevalence of chronic conditions and their burdensome costs.
Patient and provider satisfaction often results from a lifestyle medicine approach, which strongly aligns the field with the Quintuple Aim of better health outcomes, lower cost, improved patient satisfaction, improved provider well-being, and advancement of health equity, in addition to its alignment with planetary health. Lifestyle medicine is the foundation for a redesigned, value-based and equitable healthcare delivery system, leading to whole person health.
