Lifestyle Medicine Track at ACPM's Preventive Medicine conference

ACPM has refined its clinical preventive medicine track at its annual Preventive Medicine conference 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.
