Lifestyle Medicine Education
Lifestyle Medicine Education (LMEd) is an evolution of the Lifestyle Medicine Education Collaborative, originally founded by Dr. Eddie Phillips and Dr. Jennifer Trilk and co-directed with Mr. Dennis Muscato, and is now supported by the University of South Carolina School of Medicine at Greenville.
We have created this Lifestyle Medicine Education collection to help educators understand more about LMEd core curricula and its integration into existing curricula, electives, rotations and scholarly concentrations. LMEd provides open access, evidence-based Lifestyle Medicine curricular resources to build knowledge, skills and advocacy in medical doctors for the prevention and treatment of lifestyle-related chronic disease.
