Scholarship opportunities

We firmly believe that a world with more healthcare professionals practicing lifestyle medicine will lead to a healthier, happier future for everyone.

Lack of funds shouldn’t prevent anyone from studying lifestyle medicine or contributing to its advancement. That’s why ACLM and our generous donors offer a range of scholarships and award opportunities for students as well as practicing clinicians.
