The American College of Lifestyle Medicine is pleased to offer the
opportunity to medical schools and healthcare-related academic
institutions to download this syllabus, based on the foundational work
of ACLM Board Member, Beth P. Frates, MD, who created a lifestyle medicine
course at the Harvard Extension School in 2014, available to
undergraduate, master, and other professional students interested in
health and wellness. This course has consistently been one of the most
popular courses at the Harvard Extension School and has been attended by
physicians, lawyers, engineers, nurses, wellness coordinators, social
workers, business owners, religious leaders, stay at home moms, and
retirees. The success of the course and increasing demand for the
information inspired Dr. Frates to partner with the American College of
Lifestyle Medicine to craft a syllabus that could be widely distributed
and used in many different health care institutions, organizations, and
schools.
