LIFESTYLE MEDICINE CERTIFICATION
Join a growing community of certified Lifestyle Medicine professionals.
Certification demonstrates your commitment to and knowledge of lifestyle medicine. It strengthens clinical and public health competencies with a scientific foundation in the prevention, treatment and management of chronic diseases associated with lifestyle.
Why become certified?
Many physicians and other health professionals receive limited formal education during their training on nutrition, physical activity, resilience to stress and social connection, four of the six pillars of lifestyle medicine. International lifestyle medicine certification also places emphasis on evidence concerning sleep and the avoidance of harmful substances such as tobacco, excessive alcohol use and drugs. Certification provides structured education in how lifestyle interventions can help prevent, treat and improve chronic disease using an evidence-based approach, and provides formal recognition from the International Board of Lifestyle Medicine that the candidate has studied and demonstrated competence in the field.
Who can become certified?
Certification is intended for doctors and healthcare professionals with an appropriate undergraduate or postgraduate qualification in biomedical, health or allied health disciplines. A relevant undergraduate healthcare degree may be sufficient for BSLM. IBLM requires healthcare professionals to hold a Master’s degree or doctorate.
Related fields include exercise science, nutrition, pharmacy, psychology, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, medical biochemistry and public health. The programme provider confirms whether your qualification is eligible. Not sure whether your profession fits? Get in touch.
We are translating the British BSLM programme so that our members can access it in Croatian. The accreditation remains British and is awarded by BSLM under its own requirements.
