ACLM Trainees

Medical students, health professional students, residents, and fellows make up the ACLM Trainee community. As future health care professionals, Trainees are uniquely positioned to transform the health care system - starting with their own education. In order to advocate for a transformed health care system, students have the opportunity start Lifestyle Medicine Interest Groups (LMIG) and host community events. The establishment of LMIGs cultivates multi-institutional, student-initiated programming that supports healthy habits for students, faculty, as well as the local community. ACLM’s Trainees have started these student-led, faculty-supported groups across the country that have been instrumental in advocating for curriculum reform and contributing to research in the field. ACLM's membership benefits support Trainees in the pursuit of furthering their education in Lifestyle Medicine and working towards certification in the field.
