Lifestyle Medicine Track at ACPM's Preventive Medicine
conference
ACPM has refined its clinical preventive medicine track at
its annualPreventive Medicineconference to the
Clinical Preventive and Lifestyle Medicine Track. It covers a wide range of
topics in evidence-based clinical preventive and lifestyle medicine. The range
of topics covered includes health promotion, early clinical detection and case
finding, and the application of environmental, behavioral, medical and
motivational principles to the management of lifestyle-related health problems
in a clinical setting. Implicit in this construct is the need for physicians to
understand better the risk factors and etiologies of diseases as they relate to
lifestyle, and have the skills to implement meaningful behavioral changes in
both individuals and groups.
