The American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) announced today that it has become a content provider of educational courses to AMA Ed Hub™, the American Medical Association’s (AMA) comprehensive online learning platform that supports the learning, licensure and certification needs of physicians and other health professionals.

The addition of ACLM as a content provider to AMA Ed Hub will greatly expand access to the professional medical society’s evidence-based continuing medical education courses (CME) focused on the six pillars of lifestyle medicine — nutrition, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, positive social connection and avoidance of harmful substances. ACLM joins other well-known organizations such as the JAMA Network™, the American College of Radiology and the Society of Hospital Medicine as AMA Ed Hub content providers, among many others.

“The designation of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine as an official AMA Ed Hub content provider means that more health care professionals will be able to experience and benefit from ACLM’s high-quality, evidence-based educational courses,” said ACLM President Catherine Collings, MD, MS, FACC, DipABLM. “We are delighted to collaborate with the AMA to provide health professionals the knowledge to apply whole-person, prescriptive lifestyle changes to treat and, when used intensively, often reverse conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes and obesity.”

Lifestyle medicine is a medical specialty that uses therapeutic lifestyle interventions as a primary modality to treat chronic conditions including, but not limited to, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Lifestyle medicine certified clinicians are trained to apply evidence-based, whole-person, prescriptive lifestyle change to treat and, when used intensively, often reverse such conditions. Applying the six pillars of lifestyle medicine also provides effective prevention for these conditions.

ACLM offers over 100 hours of CME and CE via online courses and in-person events, as well as maintenance of certification for various specialties and for those certified in the field of lifestyle medicine. Continuing medical education courses ensure that physicians and other health professionals stay current in a field or specialty, improve the care they provide and maintain licenses or credentials to practice in hospitals.

The AMA Ed Hub is a streamlined digital platform with more than 8,000 activities and almost 4,000 CME options in a variety of formats such as articles, podcasts, videos, quizzes and interactive modules.
